The ICCF Board created the annual award to honor those who make helping others and strengthening their community an important part of their lives, and also to inspire others to give back to their community as well. 2020 marks the eighth time the Philanthropist of the Year will be awarded. Previous recipients are Nancy Huck, Aileen Elliott, Brad Saegesser, Kelby Ruckle, Kathy Alward, Jane Meyer and Dan Stock.

The honoree, nominated by members of the public, will be someone who has been active in local nonprofit organizations and other efforts to support Iosco County residents. This award is not meant to simply single out someone who makes a large amount of financial contributions. ICCF is looking to honor someone who is generous with their time, talents and financial resources – however large or modest that may be.
