The Central Montcalm Community Foundation aims to enhance the quality of life in the Central Montcalm area by providing grants through funds gathered from gifts, bequests, and estates. These grants are designed with the specific purpose of supporting various agencies, institutions, and charitable organizations to ensure the long-term benefit of the Central Montcalm community. The foundation's efforts focus on the use of annual earnings from permanent endowments, with the core principle that the principal amount is preserved indefinitely, ensuring continual support for the local community.
The grant program focuses on supporting specific causes based on the intent of each permanent endowed fund, using only the annual earnings generated by these funds. The principle of these funds remains untouched, ensuring sustainability. Additionally, non-endowed funds are used for unexpected community needs and administrative expenses. Fundraising events and designated contributions also support these efforts. Specifically, the Education Endowment supports Central Montcalm Public Schools by providing grants and scholarships for student enrichment programs, aimed at enhancing learning and self-esteem.
