Steuben County Community Foundation

Since 1991, Steuben County Community Foundation's mission has been connecting people who care with needs that matter to our community. The foundation's mission is best understood through a description of our three pillars. We hold funds. If you want to give back to your community, we can help! We provide individuals, corporations and other donors the opportunity to donate to causes they care about. Donors can make one-time gifts to a specific cause, or we can help them set up their own fund or endowment to support a cause. We work with our donors to identify the best fit for their interests and financial goals. We make grants. We give grants to nonprofit organizations and scholarships to students. Our grantmaking and scholarships come from a combination of investments made by our donors, and investments made by the Community Foundation. We connect community. Our work puts us in the middle of many conversations, uncovering the most prominent needs. We're active listeners, and take the information we learn about our community to facilitate bigger, community-wide conversations and initiatives. We convene organizations to create solutions, and provide additional support to those leaders.
