we proudly introduce our new look

 

Charlevoix County Community Foundation began 32 years ago as a great idea and a much-needed community resource. It was a seed planted that would take time to grow. The familiar acorn imagery represented us well during that time; it sprouted, it grew, and it reached toward the warmth of the sun.

 

 

Over time and with your help, that acorn has grown into a mighty oak. Its roots are deep and its leaves continue to reach toward the sun. We are grateful to you for being the reason the Community Foundation stands tall and healthy today. It is with this spirit of gratitude that we proudly present the new look for your Charlevoix County Community Foundation.

Grants in Action - little traverse conservancy

The Little Traverse Conservancy set themselves a big goal when they worked with the sellers of the largest remaining undeveloped, unprotected shoreline on Lake Michigan in Emmet and Charlevoix Counties last year. With a price point of more than $3 million, every dollar really did count. A C3F Community Priorities grant, combined with more than 150 other donors and contributors, helped LTC to acquire the property and secure its protection forever. Sometimes, on these larger projects, our grants can seem like a drop in the bucket, but we believe in the power of collaboration because we have seen our community come together to do big things that matter, like this. Thanks to so many in our community who care for our natural resources, Enji-minozhiiyaamigak, the Place of Peacefulness, is now protected. Great news - you can go there because it's open to the public! And soon, there will be a universally accessible trail to enjoy as well. We are proud to have partnered with LTC on this work.
