HOW WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION
We depend on the goodwill and generosity of others to achieve our mission and there are many ways to support our community and give to the Shoreview Community Foundation:
Undesignated gifts to the Foundation's permanent endowment fund allow the Foundation to use its discretion to identify where there is the greatest need, often times in response to a critical community need, or a new opportunity. Designated gifts allow the donor to specify an area where their gift should be used. (Designated fund minimum of $25,000).
IMPACT
‘Your generous support enables the people we serve reach their personal goals and potential through individualized services and supports. Your gift helps remove barriers, offer creative solutions, see opportunities, and turn hope into success. While the majority of the peoples we serve have intellectual or developmental disabilities, we also support adults living with mental health issues, significant medical and physical disabilities, traumatic brain injuries and other challenges. Your gift makes a difference in their lives.’ – MSS Shoreview

SHOREVIEW COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
The Shoreview Community Foundation (SCF) was established in 2008 by community leaders who understood that the solutions to some community needs were more suited to citizen initiative than to governmental action. Owing to this insight, for the past fourteen years the SCF has awarded financial support to trusted non-profit grantees, who, in turn, have provided valuable, targeted services in the Shoreview area.
From a donor point of view, the SCF makes it possible for public spirited citizens, with varied interests and capacity for giving, to participate in philanthropic activities for the benefit of our community.
The Foundation operates as a separate charitable fund under the umbrella of the Saint Paul and Minnesota Foundation, from whose experienced staff the SCF receives professional advice and support. The Saint Paul Foundation has custody of and manages the investments and provides operational oversight.
MISSION
To maintain, enhance and enrich the quality of life in Shoreview by connecting the generosity of our residents with the community’s evolving needs.
