Purpose

With a deep love for our community, Silver Dollar City Foundation was founded in 1996 as a 501c(3) private foundation.

Our mission is to partner with communities to equip and inspire children.

Our vision - Today's children become tomorrow's thriving adults.

We work to fulfill this mission and vision by partnering with the 14 school districts that serve Stone and Taney County students.

Together for Kids, which is a partnership between Silver Dollar City Foundation and Care to Learn, is dedicated to meeting the immediate, physical needs of area children. By providing funds to each of the 14 school districts, educators have the financial resources they need to quickly meet needs as they arise. During the 2025-2026 school year, nearly 4,800 needs were met. 

Hope Grants are designed to do just what the name implies – give Hope. Whether it is inspiring hope through early childhood education programs or by giving families hope by strengthening the family bond, it’s all about Hope for the future. During the 2025-26 school year, Hope Grants helped create access to affordable preschool, early childhood education projects, after school tutoring and much more.
