Mission Statement
The Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation exists to facilitate, promote and serve philanthropy and permanent endowments, thereby enhancing the quality of life in its five-county region.
We do this by:
- Developing and supporting a diverse collection of permanent endowment funds supported by a wide range of donors.
- Involving a large number of regional volunteers in developing, managing, disbursing income and setting policies for the funds.
- Developing an understanding of the role of charitable giving in filling community needs.
- Empowering youth to make a difference through grant making and leadership.
