A community foundation helps build and strengthen the community by bringing together people and organizations that want to make a difference. The Scott County Community Foundation (?SCCF?) was incorporated on Dec. 12, 1996, and has since distributed over $11 million in scholarships and grants. SCCF currently manages assets over $8 million through 95 endowment funds. These funds support youth and education, arts and historic preservation, health and human services, the environment and our community. SCCF also teaches philanthropy to 85 youth, and collaborates with United Way of Scott County to provide free books to children through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. SCCF is also involved in regional quality of life initiatives. You may visit www.www.scottcountyfoundation.org for more information.
