The Community Foundation for Muskegon County (CFFMC) is proud to partner with the Muskegon Area District Library (MADL) for this year’s Annual Gathering – Celebrating Heroes. The Annual Gathering will take place on November 10 at 6pm at the Frauenthal Center. This FREE event is open to the public and will feature renowned author Matt de la Pena as headlining speaker along with recognition of a Muskegon County hero though this year’s Impact Award.

More than 100 representatives from local nonprofits came out to the Frauenthal Center on August 4th for our inaugural Nonprofit Networking Day. We are so thankful for such a strong turnout and for the expertise of all our outstanding speakers that made this day such a success.

It is our pleasure to welcome our newest trustees, David Shafer and Angelita Valdez! We can't wait to see what the future has in store.

The Community Foundation is "listening" to Muskegon County Residents

August is National Make-A-Will Month, and we encourage you to set aside time to write your legal will. Everyone needs a will, whether they’re 18 or 80, and it goes well beyond a plan for your assets. Your will can protect your loved ones – humans and pets alike – and help build the community you love as well.

The Community Foundation designed Strategic Leadership Grants to support projects and programs related to our three strategic focus areas: education; community and economic development; and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Whether it’s supporting access to healthy food, a welcoming neighborhood, community dialogue for healing and justice, workforce stability or active youth, these programs help to address the challenges and opportunities here in Muskegon County.
