An endowment is a fund that grows and provides unrestricted funds to be used to support the organization each year. A million dollar endowment provides about $50,000 of unrestricted funds per year. A 10 million dollar fund would provide about $500,000 per year - every year forever. For organizations like SCCAP that is life changing. Your gift can impact the community forever!
Allowing us to provide appropriate supports that lead to strong outcome for families.
Did you know that government funding comes in silos with different eligibility criteria. Sometimes we have to work across multiple funding streams to help a family, and sometimes though the need is real, there are no programs to help a family. For example, we had an older couple living on low fixed income whose pump for their well failed. We had funding for utilities but it could not be used to purchase a new pump. We were able to use discretionary donations (those designated for “where needed most” ) to help this family which enables them to stay in their home. Unrestricted dollars can make the difference in just helping someone to changing their life. Click Here to see some of the Faces of SCCAP
Supporting innovation and community and system level work to build strong communities.
Did you know SCCAP administers community engagement initiatives that work on food security, affordable housing, transportation, economic development, equality, and work to help those coming out of prison to successfully reintegrate into the community. Our community work is informed by the work we do with families - this allows us to better understand barriers in our local community and then work on effective solutions that make us all stronger! The Gleaning Project, @Home in Adams County, and Franklin Together are great examples of this work!
Providing an effective infrastructure and keeping administrative overhead to under 10%.
Did you know SCCAP has an administrative cost of under 7.5%, that for the last 15 years, along with being the CEO, Megan has also been the IT staff person supporting more than 100 computers, working more than 65 hours per week (salaried of course). That has saved the agency money but had it allowed her to do her best work? We saw what happened when we added a Resource Development Director, unrestricted funding increased allowing us to do more work. Being good stewards of funds, your donated funds and your tax payer dollars, is critical to us - part of that means we have the appropriate staffing to make sure our programs are impactful for the long term - helping families thrive and building strong communities!
The community’s response was incredible! In just 5 months you helped SCCAP build a better future for our Communities!
Thank YOU so much!!
