We Began with a Vision
The Elk County Community Foundation was started in the late 1990’s by a group of business and civic leaders, with the support of the Stackpole-Hall Foundation, who recognized the need for creating a perpetual funding stream to support Elk County—now and in the future. The Foundation was incorporated in 2000 and a year later was classified as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The Foundation provides donors with a simple but powerful and highly personal approach to achieving their philanthropic goals while enhancing the quality of life for the people of Elk County.
We are Guided by our Mission
The mission of the Elk County Community Foundation is to strengthen our region through philanthropy, stewardship, and grantmaking while helping donors achieve their charitable goals.
Our mission guides everything we do as we work with:
Donors to support the causes and organizations they care about most.
Nonprofits by providing grant opportunities that help advance their programs, services, and projects.
Students through scholarship programs that help them pursue educational opportunities and achieve their goals.
The Community Foundation is committed to helping donors create a lasting impact in the communities they care about—today and for generations to come.
