We're Almost there!

Introducing the Platinum Pledge
This year, the Scranton Area Community Foundation is proudly celebrating 70 years of working to improve the quality of life for people, projects, and causes in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We’re honored to serve our region for seven decades and are grateful to the individuals, families, and organizations who have supported us in our mission.
Since its founding in 1954, the Foundation has experienced tremendous growth, but one thing remains constant: our success is fueled by the generous support of donors like you. Your trust and generosity have enabled the Foundation to establish and grow a permanent endowment to support the many critical needs of our community, foster innovation, and seek solutions to improve the region and change lives.
Scranton Area Community Foundation
& the Century Club of Scranton
A historic partnership
To coincide with this milestone year and continue improving on our critical work, we are happy to announce that the Scranton Area Community Foundation is establishing a permanent home in Lackawanna County. The Foundation was recently gifted the building that houses the Century Club of Scranton on Jefferson Avenue, directly across the street from our current office location in Scranton. This generous gift will allow the Scranton Area Community Foundation to have a permanent home in Lackawanna County later this year and better serve our community through various on-site services for nonprofits and the ability to convene the community to work on important solutions.
We will spend the next few months renovating, improving, and preserving the historic building. We request your support as we prepare to move into our new home. Every contribution matters, and 100% of your donation stays local, supporting the needs of our renovations and our region's greatest needs.
Please consider joining our 70th-anniversary campaign to help us reach our goal.
As we reflect on our legacy of impact, we look to the future with renewed vigor through our
Platinum Pledge Campaign.
In 2024, we're embarking on a transformative journey to raise crucial funds for our continued charitable endeavors. Your generous support will fuel our mission to uplift communities, empower individuals, and enact meaningful change across Northeastern Pennsylvania.
