Our family’s ties to West and Northern Michigan go deep, spanning generations of people who have helped to build and enhance our community. Over the decades, that commitment has continued to grow as we’ve built lasting relationships, showed up to listen, learn, and share ideas, and offered resources with those who are working to make our region stronger, healthier, and more equitable.

We believe that knowledge and resources grow in value when they are shared, so we invite our grantees and partners to leverage our strengths to help solve problems and magnify their own capabilities.
