We’ve been asked, “Why doesn’t the Community Foundation let itself participate on Giving Tuesday?” Well, this year we are! For 2018, we are including the Iosco County Community Improvement Fund and the Iosco County Kellogg Youth Funds in Giving Tuesday. A donation to the Community Improvement Fund helps the Foundation to meet needs in Iosco County as they change year to year, and your donation will make a difference in perpetuity. The same is true of a donation to the Iosco County Kellogg Youth Fund, which provides grants for youth programs through our YAC program, which teaches young people about philanthropy and the importance of giving back through the grantmaking process. The bottom line? The more money in these funds, the more we can give out in grants, FOREVER, to support hundreds of nonprofits and worthy causes in Iosco County. We hope you might consider a donation to one of these funds on Giving Tuesday! #GivingTuesdayNEMI #TheBiggestImpact More →
