Enhancing the Quality of Life

About the Foundation

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.
