Grants
The
grantmaking of the Community Foundation covers
a wide variety of needs throughout Emmet County,
including Arts and Culture, Education, Environment,
Community and Economic Development, Health, Human
Services, Recreation, Historic Preservation and
Youth Development.
We encourage proposals for projects which:
- Enhance
cooperation and collaboration among organizations,
thereby eliminating duplication of services.
- Address
emerging needs in an innovative way or try new
approaches to address existing needs.
- Receive
additional funding from a broad base of supporters.
- Yield
substantial community benefits and serve a broad
segment of the community.
- Focus
on the prevention of problems rather than the
cure.
- Address
Initiatives: Entrepreneurship, Land Use, and
Youth Substance Abuse Prevention.
Community members
review grant requests and make funding recommendations
to the Board of Trustees. The Distribution Committee
distributes dollars from the Community Endowment
Fund and the Youth Advisory Committee is responsible
for recommending grants from the Youth Fund.

In
addition to flexibly responding to emerging community
needs, the Community Foundation is also working
more specifically on three strategic initiatives:
Youth Substance Abuse Prevention, Land Use, and
Entrepreneurship. If you would like to learn
more or have suggestions about how we address
community issues, call us!
