What is the Somerset Community Foundation? The Somerset Community Foundation (SCF) is operated by a volunteer board of directors that includes community leaders who are your friends and neighbors. It focuses its efforts on providing funding in the areas of education, human services, civic projects, youth and the environment—as well as fostering the culture of philanthropy. Imagine…. A better Somer
set area. A community where everybody has the capacity to give in a way that makes a difference. A community where combining gifts, great and small, result in making the largest local impact. A community where local needs are identified and met with flexibility for today and the future. Why have a community foundation? A community foundation offers donors simplicity and flexibility in charitable giving, maximum tax advantages and the knowledge that their gift will benefit their community in perpetuity. A community foundation exists to help create a healthy and vital community in which all people have the opportunity to enhance the quality of their lives and the lives of others. How can you make a difference? Many people care about the Somerset area and would like to share resources with it in a lasting way, but feel they are not able to make a difference alone. For such people the Somerset Community Foundation can be of service. The SCF can give you the satisfaction of being charitable and knowing your gift will be put to good use in your community. Please join us
in building a permanent and growing endowment for the community’s changing needs and opportunities. The Somerset Community Foundation Endowment is a fund established to take care of the Somerset area’s needs today and tomorrow. It remains flexible so that issues not even dreamed of today can be dealt with expeditiously for the good of the community today, tomorrow, and forever. You are invited to be a founding donor of the Somerset Community Foundation Endowment .
