Alyce Van’s Welcome

Welcome to the Stanton Community Foundation. If you are visiting this website for the first time, we hope that it will provide a greater understanding of our Foundation, our mission, the people we touch, and the community that we serve.

The Stanton Community Foundation differs from similar organizations in that it is not a single-focus charity; it is, instead, a catalyst for community change. The Foundation enhances the quality of life in our community through endowments in a number of areas, including: Culture, Education, Environment, and Youth. In particular, we feel today’s youth need to be our focus and we strive to fill in gaps where services are no longer offered.  The Foundation is directed by a Board of Directors and is comprised of local citizens. Their knowledge of our community allows the Foundation to form the vital partnerships with other non-profit agencies required to serve current and emerging local needs and make the Stanton area even greater!

Theodore Roosevelt said, "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for our community lives long after we are gone." This sums up what the Stanton Community Foundation is all about. If you have a charitable goal or thoughts on something that could be added to our community, please let us know. Let's work together to build a better community for our children and their children. For good. Forever.
