Everyone Can Make a Difference

Since 1960, area residents have been turning to the Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation (SCAF) to make their philanthropic giving as effective as possible. The Foundation is a tax-exempt public charity serving thousands of people who share a common concern:

Improving the Quality of Life 
in the Stanwood-Camano Community.

THE IDEA IS SIMPLE

Anyone may use the Foundation as a charitable resource to give something back to the community. Individuals, families, businesses and organizations create permanent charitable funds that help our region meet the challenges of changing times. 

The Foundation invests and administers these funds. We distribute the earnings annually awarding individual scholarships and community grants to humanitarian, educational, and cultural organizations in this remarkable region we call home. 

By establishing, or adding to an existing fund, you’ll know your gifts are in good hands. We can help you identify where your gifts will best benefit the community. THE RESULT? A lasting legacy that addresses the needs of today and the challenges of tomorrow. 

Establish a tradition of philanthropy. Ensure that your fund will develop community capital to improve the quality of life now and well into the future. The Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation is your premier local source of comprehensive charitable gift planning. Because every giving decision is a personal one, we’d love to talk with you about what you care about and how we can help you achieve your dream for our community.
