In 2024, a C3F Mini Grant helped the Boyne Arts Center to increase their exposure and awareness by participating in Boyne City's Stroll the Streets events on Friday nights last summer.
Hestia Women's Giving Circle
The Hestia Women's Giving Circle is a group of women from Emmet and Charlevoix Counties whose mission is to “promote the economic self-sufficiency and well-being of women and girls.” The group strives to educate its members and the general public about community needs and encourages women and girls to engage in active philanthropy. Giving circle members contribute annually to a field of interest fund held at the Charlevoix County Community Foundation.
Each year, the giving circle distributes grants from the proceeds of the fund to qualifying organizations. The grant applications are due May 1st of each year, and funds are distributed soon after.
