Summary

The Central Montcalm Community Foundation aims to improve the quality of life in the Central Montcalm area by providing grants funded through annual earnings from endowments. These funds support long-term community programs in arts, health, environment, and recreation. The foundation ensures the principal of each fund remains untouched, while the generated earnings are utilized to meet community needs and cover administrative costs.

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. Funds that are not endowed are used to respond to unanticipated community needs as well as cover administrative costs. 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). Community Outreach Endowments The Community Endowment and Outreach Endowment support community projects and program grants for specific areas of interest such as the arts, health, environment, and recreation.
