Ready to learn more about our grant partners and the people in Skokie benefitting from projects funded by the Skokie Community Foundation (SCF)? Well get ready, because we've got a video coming your way highlighting one of our 2022 grant recipients!

Out Our Front Door and Emily Oaks Nature Center were awarded an SCF Grant to fund bike riding and camping experiences for Skokie teens, who would not otherwise get such opportunities.

Keep your eyes peeled for a video highlighting their experiences coming out soon. For now, enjoy a few teaser photos from their biking experience this summer.

Today’s “Why SCF?” series features Will Habe

Today’s “Why SCF?” series features Will Haben, who has served as a Board Director of the Skokie Community Foundation (SCF) since 2020. Will is a fourth generation licensed Funeral Director & Embalmer carrying on the family business, Haben Funeral Home & Crematory. Will is a lifelong resident of Skokie. He lives with his wife Sara and son Will, Jr. in town and can be seen at many village events supporting the community. Will is the Secretary of the Kiwanis Club of Skokie Valley and an active member of the Skokie Chamber of Commerce. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from DePaul University and a degree in Mortuary Science from Worsham College.

“Why” SCF?
"My family has been part of this community since 1868, when the Seuls came to town," Will said. "My great-grandfather started the funeral home in 1923, and I am proud of our family's long-standing commitment to Skokie. What’s better for Skokie is better for all of us who live here. Serving on the foundation allows me to do more good in Skokie."

We asked Will to highlight one of his favorite SCF grant recipients.
"One of my favorite grants was the one we awarded to Skokie/Morton Grove School District 69, which provided funds to give vouchers to uninsured and underinsured students for dental, vision and mental health care. The grant also supported transportation for students to health care providers. It's gratifying that the foundation was able to provide basic health care to students in need. You can learn so much better if your basic health needs are met."

We're still beaming nearly one month after welcoming many of our donors, supporters, grant partners, and loved ones to the Skokie Community Foundation office! So, for Throwback Thursday, we've decided to share more memories from a fantastic evening of food and fun before enjoying a performance at The Skokie Theatre.

We love bringing the community together and appreciate all of the support!
