Friday, August 1, 2025 at 12:00 AM

Skaggs Foundation has been honored as the 2025 Nonprofit of the Year by the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce & CVB at the recent Good Morning Branson event.

Grant Sloan, Senior Vice President of the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce & CVB and Taney County Partnership, provided the criteria for this prestigious award, “Nonprofit of the year award recognizes a nonprofit for its exceptional achievement(s) in meeting a defined public need in the Branson/Lakes Area. These individuals have a true passion for the community, are good stewards of donor dollars, and utilize sound business practices to further their mission.”

For the past 23 years, Skaggs Foundation’s primary focus has been to support health and wellness initiatives throughout Stone and Taney Counties. In addition to grant funding through the Skaggs Legacy Endowment, they provide scholarships to area students seeking degrees in the medical field. Over $10 million has been invested into the community, all for the purpose of shaping a healthier, stronger community.

“We are deeply honored to receive this award,” said Meghan Connell, President of Skaggs Foundation. “This recognition belongs to the entire community—our board, staff, donors, grantees, because together, we can make significant change for the better.”

Skaggs Foundation encourages organizations in Stone and Taney counties to visit skaggsfoundation.org to learn more about grant opportunities and ways you can be a part of making a positive impact in your community. Feel free to call 417-348-8998 or email foundation@skaggs.net.
