Today is National Philanthropy Day! It doesn’t take all the money in the world to be a philanthropist. It takes a caring heart, a charitable spirit, and an effort to make your community better in some way. At the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan, we believe EVERYONE can be a philanthropist! #nationalphilanthropyday

"It taught me how to be respectful of others."

"I can talk in front of others now."

"I feel more okay with myself...now I feel more comfortable sharing with others."

...

Real words from students at All Saints Catholic School after completing a Performing Arts Program led by Thunder Bay Theatre's Jeffrey Mindock. A $1,590 Youth Advisory Council grant provided funding to bring the program to these students, who increased their confidence, public speaking skills and communications skills.

$19,500 in new CFNEM grants will fund projects meant to help "get out the count" for the U.S. 2020 Census. These grants are part of the Community Foundation's effort, as well as other Michigan agencies, to ensure our region and our state get the most accurate count possible. Just nine questions and a ten-minute survey has a huge impact on the next decade in northeast Michigan. #becountednemi2020 #MIVoiceCounts

Turning the page on any issue takes collaboration and the ability to work together well.
