Targeted Giving to
Ensure Starkville Thrives

Welcome to the Starkville Community Foundation, YOUR hometown charity. We believe investing in Starkville will create a place we all want to call home for generations to come!

Communities with effective foundations fund important initiatives that keep towns like Starkville growing and thriving. SCF is devoted to the future of our community—what do we want Starkville to look like in 5, 10, or 50 years? What are the indicators of communities that attract growth, safety, and fun? SCF has done the research for you and modeled our local foundation after the most successful foundations around the country.

SCF strives to help you invest your financial assets wisely, giving you the opportunity to fund projects and donate to organizations that make a difference in YOUR hometown. Choose an investment donation that is right for your family or business, or give us a call and let us help you create a long-term giving plan with tax benefits. As an affiliate of the CREATE foundation in Tupelo, we have access to financial experts who can help with community reinvestment funds for banks, RMDs for retirees, charitable giving for businesses, and much more!
