In june 2006, the selinsgrove area community foundation, then selinsgrove area youth foundation, joined central susquehanna community foundation (cscf) as an affiliate. Cscf provides investment, administrative, and program support for sacf, which depends solely on its volunteers and has no staff or administrative structure.
