“Serving on the distribution committee is the most rewarding position within the Community Foundation,” said Jim Ford, committee chair and board member. “Learning about and supporting these various organizations and the important work they do really connects us to the place we live.”
As part of its granting process, the Community Foundation also engages a dedicated group of youth philanthropists in its Youth Advisory Committee (YAC). Together, these 27 local high school students from Alanson, Harbor Springs, Pellston and Petoskey recommended eight grants totaling over $30,000 to local nonprofits whose work supports youth issues including access to the arts, recreation and education.
