About Our Foundation

Mission and Vision: Built by Members. Powered by Purpose.

The Silo Ridge Community Foundation (SRCF) is where generosity meets purpose. Led by a board of passionate Silo Ridge Field Club members, SRCF partners directly with local nonprofits to address real needs. We believe philanthropy isn’t just about giving back—it’s about showing up. With the heart of a tight-knit community and the drive of a new generation, SRCF goes beyond writing checks. We collaborate, we volunteer, we listen. Our community is built one caring act at a time—we aim to be hands-on changemakers.

What makes SRCF different? We’re not just stewards of generosity—we’re neighbors, friends, and advocates who live where we give. Together, we’re not just supporting a region—we’re reimagining what a rural community can be: resilient, vibrant, and rooted in shared purpose. Because here, giving isn’t an obligation—it’s an invitation to build something better, together.

In 2022,  the Silo Ridge Community Foundation (SRCF) was granted federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and became recognized as exempt charitable organizations by the IRS. The SRCF is the primary funding organization of the Amenia-Wassaic Community Organization (AWCO), and donations made to both organizations are tax deductible. The AWCO and SRCF were established to directly support and benefit the local community surrounding Silo Ridge Field Club in Amenia, New York through funding, outreach, partnership, and collaboration.
