With the help of a recent Arts & Culture grant, the Traverse City Dance Project brought a free, professional dance performance to Charlevoix's East Park last summer as part of their mission to produce and present professional dance in Northern Michigan.
About
John Doskoch Photography
The Charlevoix County Community Foundation was founded in 1992 when an eager group of volunteers led the charge to start a community foundation in Charlevoix County, driven by the vision of a vibrant community where friends and neighbors can thrive.
As a trusted charitable resource, we carefully invest and steward donor gifts in order to make meaningful grants that support pathways to progress across Charlevoix County. We encourage everyone to make a positive difference in their community by connecting with us for giving and granting opportunities in areas that matter most – environmental stewardship, arts and culture, health and wellness, youth initiatives, recreation, education, and more. Here, your giving has a purpose and your impact will be felt by those living nearby.
We still believe everyone living in Charlevoix County deserves an opportunity to thrive in their community. That’s why we commit our time, talent, and resources to transforming the quality of life, so our neighbors feel supported and connected, now and for generations to come.
