The Scott County Community Foundation (“SCCF”) has welcomed Jordan Shuler to the Board of Directors. He began his term Oct. 1. The Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization that assists donors with their charitable giving. By giving to a permanent endowment fund, donors’ dollars are able to support the community with not only today’s needs, but those for generations to come.
Jordan is the son of Greg Shuler and Cherie Shuler. He graduated from Scottsburg High School in 2016, and from Grace College in 2020, with bachelor of science degrees in accounting and sport management. He is employed with the State Board of Accounts.
Jordan is a member of Southeast Christian Church, where he serves as small group leader. He is also the Scottsburg High School varsity golf coach, and serves on staff for the Scottsburg High School Band of Warriors.
Jordan began his service to the Community Foundation as a fifth grade student in 2008, when he joined the Scott County Youth Grantmaking Council (“YGC”). He then became the 2016 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship recipient. He joined the Community Foundation’s finance and investment committee last year.
“I’ve always known of the Community Foundation since a young age,” shared Jordan. “I was in YGC for many years and loved making a difference there. I’m excited to be with the Community Foundation in a new capacity now and being able to give back to a community that has given me so much.”
“I’m so excited to see our former YGC members come back to serve the Foundation and our community as adults!” said Executive Director Jaime Toppe. “As a young fifth grade student at Lexington Elementary, he wrote in his YGC application that he cared about our community and thought everyone should have the chance to participate in service. I love that his community-minded spirit has stayed with him all these years. He will be a great addition to the Board of Directors.”
