Engaging Our Youth

Our future is our youth. The SVCF Board has a passion and vision of engaging the youth of Mitchell County in philanthropy. Through committee work our Board identified the 5th graders of Mitchell County as our focus for investment of education, time, and empowerment. We visited every 5th-grade classroom in Mitchell County, Beloit Elementary, Lakeside Elementary, St. John's, and Tipton Community School. The students engaged in learning more about philanthropy and how to apply their time, talent, and treasure to the things that mean the most to them.

 

We have invited all 102 students to attend the "Give to Grow" event and thanks to two generous donors, Guaranty State Bank & Trust, and SMC Concrete and Construction, each student will have $20 to donate to their organization(s) of choice.
