In 1991, a group of concerned citizens created the Steuben County Community Foundation- a formalized and organized way to make charitable gifts that will work to address the emerging issues and concerns of Steuben County forever. To this day, its purpose is to promote and preserve the lifestyle and assets of our community for current and future generations. By partnering with our donors, we have helped strengthen education, support the arts, promote civic life, protect our environment, and ensure strong health and social services. When donors give, their support helps current and future needs throughout the community. To date, the Steuben County Community Foundation holds hundreds of endowed funds, over 26 million in assets, and has granted millions of dollars back to the Steuben County Community.
