Program

Posted by Jeremy Swiftney on Nov 18, 2024

Program: Grand Haven Area Community Foundation

Presenter: Hadley Streng

Grand Haven Area Community Foundation's strategic plan focuses on the organizations impact within its community. This impact is created through area like Community Impact Grant Program, Scholarship funds, Donor Advised funds, etc. Investments are managed safely in partnership with Norther Investments, with rate of returns ranking GHACF 1st in their assets group across the nation.

In the past year, roughly $10.8 million was granted out in NW Ottawa County and slightly beyond.

The GHACF Youth Advisory Council is also granting funds to local projects for mental health, physical well-being, and community & cultural well-being.

2024 Scholarships affected 234 students!

Donor Advised & Corporate Advised funds are a large portion of grants given, and are directed by the donor to find the most impactful use for the recipients of these funds.
