Smyth County Community foundation's (sccf) mission is to partner to build pathways for a stronger Community by creating opportunities and giving hope for a brighter future. Our shared purpose is to build a Community where all people can lead healthy, successful lives and are inspired to help one another. Sccf partners with Community members to set up endowed funds to support scholarships and Community grants across Smyth County and adjacent communities. These funds are managed by sccf to grow in value while donating a portion of the earnings to award scholarships to Smyth County students and grants to nonprofit organizations across the County. Through the investing and growth, the funds will give back to the Community for years to come. Sccf also partners with our local County and town government agencies and other nonprofits to promote health, wellness, and education throughout our communities.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
