Overview

Mission The Central Montcalm Community Foundation mission is to enhance the quality of life in the Central Montcalm area through grants funded by the annual earnings generated from the gifts, bequests and estates contributed as endowments. With the annual earnings from these permanent endowments, many agencies, institutions and charitable organizations have and will be able to support programs for the long term benefit of Central Montcalm residents. Central Montcalm Community Foundation Funding Sources The annual earnings generated from each permanent endowed fund is used yearly to support the specific intent of each of these funds. The principal from each of these funds is never utilized even as it grows – “it lives forever”. Only the annual earnings generated is used. Funding to help meet these needs is generated by fund raising events (e.g., Golf Annual Outing, Big Bash) and other contributions designated for that specific purpose (e.g., Chemical Bank fund). Chemical Bank Fund Supports and helps fund the Discretionary Fund and its ability to meet unanticipated community needs that fall outside the Foundation’s normal application period/or existing endowed fund use criteria.
