A community fund, committed to Suttons Bay and Bingham Townships, The Suttons Bay and Bingham Endowment was established in 1995. Owen Bahle, a champion for and friend of the Suttons Bay area, was a founding supporter and had a wish to support the community he loved. Many other donors have since joined in this commitment.
Grant awards support a variety of organizations, community projects, and programs that benefit Suttons Bay and Bingham Townships and the Village of Suttons Bay.
