Ways To Give

Give to an existing fund.

The Sanilac County Community Foundation (SCCF) is home to a variety of funds established by individuals, families, and organizations. Each of our funds is an expression of a donor’s wish for our communities – whether it is to support vibrant arts and culture, our communities’ youth, high quality education opportunities through scholarships, our region’s precious natural areas and beautiful spaces, or our neighbors most basic needs with food, shelter, and medical care.

Give later.

For many donors, the greatest opportunity for a major gift or to leave a legacy is through a planned or deferred gift. These gifts are realized upon the passing of the donor and offer the priceless benefit of leaving a legacy for the causes closest to the donor’s heart. The Sanilac County Community Foundation welcomes the opportunity to talk with you about your charitable interests and encourages you to speak with your professional advisor about how a planned or deferred gift may work for you.
