The purpose of the Shelby County Community Foundation is to enrich the quality of life for all citizens of Shelby County by serving the charitable interests of donors who have established charitable funds as part of a permanent, collective, philanthropic resource for the current and future needs of the Shelby County community.
The Shelby County Community Foundation is an affiliate foundation of The Community Foundation of Louisville (CFL), a tax-exempt public charity that administers charitable funds created by Kentucky residents, businesses and organizations for the betterment of their communities. SCCF was organized in 1995 to provide the services of a community foundation to local residents and to begin building a collective charitable endowment for Shelby County.
The Shelby County Community Foundation oversees charitable funds managed by CFL. We do not receive or invest funds directly; that is the responsibility of CFL. Income from funds placed under our supervision by CFL is distributed in accordance with the criteria established by the fund donors.
Our mission also involves the encouragement of civic-minded Shelby County residents to add to our collective endowment by creating funds that support their charitable interests. You may open a charitable giving account to simplify your current giving with a gift of any amount. A permanent endowed fund may be created with a gift of $25,000 or more. The fund may be established by a lump sum, periodic gifts to build the fund, or a bequest through a will. Donors may also create funds that pay income to them for life and later provide for the future of a favorite charity and the community.
