What is SCF?
The Shoreview Community Foundation (SCF) was established in 2008 by community leaders who understood that the solutions to some community needs were more suited to citizen initiative than to governmental action. Since then, SCF has awarded financial support to trusted non-profit grantees, who have then provided valuable, targeted services in the Shoreview area.
