On May 7th, the Clare County Community Foundation asks you to "give where you live" by supporting our Give Local campaign. Give Local is a 24-hour giving day where community members can support the long-term sustainability of local nonprofits.

Your Clare County Community Foundation provides a way for community members to help transform our community with donations as little as five dollars. Donations to the Clare County Community Foundation's Give Local campaign go directly to the Foundation's Community Investment Fund. The Community Investment Fund helps make our grantmaking possible. In 2023, our grant recipients included the MyMichigan Health Foundation, the City of Clare, Clare Public Schools, Mid-Michigan Industries Inc., Farwell Area Historical Museum, Clare County Arts Council, and Junior Achievement of North Central MI.

Clare County Community Foundation's Give Local campaign is part of Give Local Midland. Give Local Midland is a 24-hour giving event hosted by the Midland Area Community Foundation. It has been hosted annually for over ten years; this is the first year the Clare County Community Foundation has participated.

On May 7th at Tobacco Ranch at 5 PM, you can also join the Clare County Community Foundation and the Clare County Arts Council for the 2024 Destination Clare Art Sculpture Walk and Give Local Celebration. There will be a cash bar and hors d'oeuvres. This joint reception will allow community members to celebrate local artists in the spirit of philanthropy.

To support the Clare County Community Foundation during Give Local, come back here at any point on May 7th to access the fundraiser. Utilize the simple-to-use search features to select the Foundation and mark your support. Donations can be as small as $5.

YOUR COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

What is a community foundation?

The essence of a community foundation is many people putting their money together to address the diverse needs where they live. Gifts enable people to dream bigger, to see the countless possibilities. As money is endowed, the gifts grow forever, providing ongoing support to help the community prosper.

Community foundations reflect and support donors’ wide array of interests and help them address all aspects of community need including arts and culture, economic development, education, environment, health, human services, and recreation.

Our Mission: To provide philanthropic leadership to strengthen our community by fostering collaboration and giving today and in the future.

Our Vision: To be the catalyst and recognized leader for community philanthropy.
