Skokie Community Foundation (SCF) loves collaborat

Skokie Community Foundation (SCF) loves collaboration!

Last week, the students at the Niles Township School District 219 Bridges program helped us send out our 2022 Annual Appeal letters. About 500 envelopes were stuffed with letters, a flyer, a donation card, and a return envelope. The students sealed, stamped, and mailed out the letters - helping SCF to secure donations for our endowment.

The D219 Bridges Services program focuses on the enhancement of life and vocational skills for students with disabilities. You can learn more about their program by visiting their website here: https://buff.ly/3gTeyD3

We want to extend a huge thank you to the students at Bridges for their helping hands and hard work.

Consider a donation to Skokie Community Foundation

Consider a donation to Skokie Community Foundation (SCF) for Giving Tuesday!

Neighbors helping neighbors – Skokie has a strong tradition of doing just that – welcoming and assisting all people who live in this village, especially those who are in need. The Skokie Community Foundation (SCF) continues in its mission to enhance life for all Skokie residents by providing meaningful monetary grants and contributions, by encouraging collaboration between community organizations, and by sponsoring public educational forums.

Since 2015, SCF has awarded more than $200,000 in grants to projects that address critical needs in Skokie. SCF has awarded 38 grants to date, benefiting 72 local nonprofits and their partners. One recent SCF-funded project provided a grant that supported mental health services for school children; another grant funded a partnership between the non-profit, Out Our Front Door organization and the Emily Oaks Nature Center to help teens. Together, these two partners provided each teen a bicycle, instructions on bicycle maintenance, the opportunity to participate in a bicycle tour, and a positive camping experience.

Your donations make a dramatic difference in our neighbors’ lives – for example, a child with depression or anxiety receives mental health services; another child receives a much-needed vision or dental exam; an unemployed adult receives job training. You can see the full list of grants at https://buff.ly/3EP2QRO

Please make a gift to SCF as we provide grants to meet diverse, emerging community needs. You can donate online at https://buff.ly/3F8gPni.

Let’s continue to build our sense of community in this village that we call our home. SCF is an IRS-approved charitable organization so your contribution is fully tax deductible. Please join hundreds of Skokie residents and businesses that support SCF’s important involvement in the community by contributing today.

On November 18, Skokie Community Foundation (SCF)

On November 18, Skokie Community Foundation (SCF) teamed up with the Village of Skokie Health Department and Skokie Public Library to bring "Toward Health Equity, " a Healthcare Symposium on Collective Impact to Skokie.

Over 40 Skokie residents, community partners, and Skokie leaders met to analyze data and identify key opportunities to improve health equity in Skokie. Paul Schmitz, Senior Advisor at The Collective Impact Forum and CEO of Leading Inside Out, gave a presentation and led several breakout discussions and activities.

This year's Health Symposium on Collective Impact will act as a foundation for future health related initiatives in Skokie, helping Skokie's organizations and community partners to communicate and collaborate on projects that will make a huge impact on the health of Skokie residents.

Thank you to the Village of Skokie Health Department, Skokie Public Library and Paul Schmitz for collaborating on this event with us. We'd also like to thank NorthShore HealthSystem for sponsoring.

We are excited to share another statement from one

We are excited to share another statement from one of the Workforce Training Initiative program participants this year. Swipe to read what one Skokie resident had to say about the opportunity to participate in this program.

About This Grant: Village of Skokie Human Services social work staff members identified Skokie clients who would benefit from enrollment in a short-term certificate program at Oakton Community College. Funds supported costs for tuition, fees and books. The Oakton academic advisor works closely with the resident as they progress through their coursework, and, when nearing completion, assists the student with job readiness/interviewing skills, resumé development and job search techniques. Human Services staff remain in contact with the resident after coursework completion.

Skokie Community Foundation awarded this grant in our 2022 grant cycle.
