Awards Grants to 33 Area Non-Profit Organizations

The Bay Area Community Foundation awarded $104,147 in grants to local non-profit organizations in Bay and Arenac Counties.   The grants will assist programs in arts and culture, community development, education, environment, health, and human services.  More than $4 million has been invested in our community through grants to non-profit organizations in the past five years. 

Good Samaritan Rescue Mission received funding to create a Children's Activity Room.  The grant will be used to purchase rubber tiles, children's furniture, bookshelves, and paint.  This room will provide a safe space for the nearly 200 children that are served by the organization each year to play and study.

The Elizabeth Husband Fund granted nearly $9,000 to organizations in Bay County to support holiday activities.  The projects included food and household item gift baskets, toys for children and coats for kids. 

Do-All, Inc. received a grant from the Health Initiative Fund to purchase new, clean twin beds for children age 4 through 17.  The beds will be delivered to children living in families with financial hardship and who do not have a bed on which to sleep, thereby improving overall health and academic success.
