SRCCF launches YouTube channel to spotlight local giving, impact

Channel features stories from donors, nonprofits, leaders

The SRCCF YouTube channel features the heart-warming story of the Foundation’s origin from co-founder Pamela Beckett.

The Starved Rock Country Community Foundation is launching a YouTube channel to help donors, nonprofit partners and community members stay informed, inspired and connected, according to a SRCCF news release.

“With our dedicated channel, we will bring these stories directly to your screen, highlighting local impact, nonprofit leaders and opportunities to give back,” SRCCF President Fran Brolley said in the release. “This channel is our way to make philanthropy more personal. We’ll show you where help is needed most, and how, together, we can strengthen our community.”

According to the release, the channel includes a welcome message from Brolley on SRCCF’s mission and 10-year impact, a heartfelt reflection from co-founder Pamela Beckett on the foundation’s journey, an explanation of how community giving works, and videos featuring the compelling stories of grant holders and how they were inspired to give back to the community.
