Welcome to Scully Learning Center Foundation
About Us
Welcome to the Scully Learning Center Foundation, a dedicated nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization supported by Carefree Kiwanis. Since 2010, we’ve been enriching the lives of developmentally disabled adults in Cave Creek, Carefree, North Scottsdale, and surrounding areas. Our center is a close-knit community where individuals with disabilities discover purpose thrive and lead fulfilling lives.
Who We Serve
We proudly serve adults with developmental and physical disabilities such as Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, and Intellectual Delays. Our commitment to lifelong support has seen members stay with us since our inception, forming a true family unit.
Our Mission
Scully Learning Center Foundation provides enriching activities for adults with developmental disabilities, allowing them to safely explore and enjoy their community. Recognizing a crucial need among our members who live with aging parents, we are expanding our mission: creating a unique residential center for adults with developmental and physical disabilities. This center, “Preserving Families Home,” will offer a nurturing environment that feels like home. Siblings can stay together, and family members can live on-site during the transition. Scully Learning Center Foundation is poised to fill a crucial gap in services, enhancing the quality of life for our members and strengthening our leadership in the field of developmental disability support.
Achieving Our Vision
To achieve our vision, we will engage in fundraising efforts, seek grants and sponsorships, and collaborate with community partners who share our mission. We will leverage our existing network and reputation to raise awareness about the need for specialized residential facilities. The successful implementation of this initiative will not only provide a much-needed service but also strengthen the Scully Learning Center Foundation’s position as a leader in developmental disability support. We are excited about this new chapter in our foundation’s legacy.
Our Commitment
Scully Learning Center Foundation aims to establish a distinctive residential center for adults with developmental and physical disabilities. By creating a nurturing environment that replicates the sense of family and familiarity, we ensure a high quality of life for our members as they transition from lifelong homes to a comfortable, supportive residential setting. With our experience, dedication, and community support, we are confident in our ability to bring this vision to fruition and make a lasting difference.
Get Involved
Scully Learning Center relies on community support to deliver fun, educational activities to developmentally disabled adults in the Valley.
Carefree Kiwanis
Carefree Kiwanis has supported our community outreach efforts since 2013, including funding enrichment activities and rallying others to our cause.
We proudly partner with Kiwanis, an international nonprofit with more than 700 global clubs and a mission to “serve the children of the world.” Hosting nearly 150,000 service projects each year, Kiwanis empowers members to pursue creative ways to fight hunger, improve literacy and offer guidance. Since 2013, support from the local Carefree Kiwanis club has been monumental in helping us carry out our mission.
Scully Learning Center partners with the Carefree Kiwanis — Aktion Club. The mission of Aktion Club is to provide adults with disabilities who have aged out of the public school system an opportunity to develop initiative, build leadership skills and serve their community. Scully provides enrichment activities, and Kiwanis Aktion Club provides service opportunities. Qualifying Scully team members can become Aktion Club members, too.

One of the Scully Learning Center Foundation`s key priorities this year is to acquire land for the Preserving Families Home project. This groundbreaking initiative will be the first of its kind, providing a model for enabling a smooth and comfortable transition out of the forever family home for physically and developmentally disabled adults and their siblings. Securing the ideal location is essential to meeting the program`s goals of accessibility, community integration, and long-term sustainability. By investing in the right property, we move closer to creating a space where these families can thrive, accessing vital resources and support services tailored to their unique needs while fostering a sense of stability and belonging.
