Legacy Wall
Imagine walking through the doors of a historic landmark that will forever serve as the heart of philanthropy in Northeastern Pennsylvania. This vision is becoming reality—and you can be part of it.
As we continue celebrating the 70th Anniversary milestone of the Scranton Area Community Foundation, I am profoundly grateful for the generosity that has shaped our mission. This milestone is a testament to the donors, charitable fund advisors, and supporters who have made our work possible—people like you who believe in the power of philanthropy to change lives.
Today, you have a unique opportunity to leave a lasting mark on our community. With the renovation of the historic Century Club building, the Scranton Area Community Foundation will soon have a permanent home that fosters collaboration, inspires new ideas, and is a vital resource for future generations.
To honor those who share this vision, we are creating a Legacy Wall inside the building—a permanent tribute to the generosity of donors who support this campaign. This Legacy Wall will recognize individuals, families, and organizations whose contributions are helping to make this transformational project a reality.
By supporting this campaign, your name can be proudly displayed on this Legacy Wall, celebrating your impact and ensuring that philanthropy continues to thrive in our region.
Opportunities to feature your name on the Legacy Wall start at $500.
They can be pledged over multiple years, providing a meaningful way to leave your mark on the future of philanthropy in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
You are invited to be part of this legacy! By making a gift to our Platinum Pledge Campaign, you will help preserve and enhance this historic space and ensure that philanthropy continues to thrive in our region. Whether you make a personal contribution or dedicate a gift in honor of someone special, your generosity will be permanently recognized as a cornerstone of this initiative.
The Scranton Area Community Foundation will formally welcome the community into our new home at the Century Club at a
Ribbon-Cutting and
Open House on
Thursday, May 15, 2025. Join us for a memorable event featuring open-house tours, refreshments, and special acknowledgments.
To have your name included on the Legacy Wall for the Ribbon-Cutting ceremony, gifts or pledges must be made by April 1st. You can still contribute after this date, as our Legacy Wall is designed to grow with our community, allowing us to add new recognitions in the months to come.
To make a tax-deductible contribution to the Platinum Pledge Campaign, you can choose from several options, including multi-year pledges, checks, gifts of stock and securities, or convenient online donations. Your generous support will help us honor the legacy of the Scranton Area Community Foundation while enhancing our impact on the community. Every contribution makes a difference and stays local.

With gratitude for your continued support,
