Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Scott County Community Foundation has three strategic goals: asset development, grantmaking and community leadership.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Asset Development: Develop working relationships with professional advisors; cultivate relationships with current and potential donors.
Grantmaking: Through an intentional grantmaking process, link funding priorities to community needs.
Community Leadership: Increase and develop our relationship with local organizations; increase our internal capacity and sustain our operational excellence; increase community understanding of our organization while building a community culture of giving.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
A diverse and skilled Board of Directors, along with a professional staff with many years experience, allows us to complete our goals. We have partnered with other organizations, such as United Way of Scott County for the Imagination Library program; and the community foundations in Clark, Floyd, Harrison and Washington counties for the Align Southern Indiana initiative.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We've surpassed numbers of registered children in the Imagination Library program. We have a record number of youth involved in the Youth Grantmaking Council. We have reached our goal of having an endowment value of $10 million by 2020.
