Shorewood Foundation Celebrating 60th Anniversary

Supporting Shorewood Activities Through the Years

Founded in 1964 as the Shorewood Civic Improvement Foundation (SCIF), the Shorewood Foundation provides a philanthropic vehicle for Shorewood residents and friends to enhance the community’s social connections, civic pride and natural beauty. They support popular community events including the 4th of July parade and fireworks and the local farmers market, scholarships for Shorewood High School seniors, and a variety of grassroots projects conceived and carried out by the Shorewood community. Made up of 15 volunteer board directors, the Foundation is one of the oldest community non-profits in the state and sets the standard for other municipalities wanting to replicate its successful operating model.
