Through a variety of endowments, they aim to support philanthropic approaches to meeting basic needs, promoting self-sufficiency, and helping individuals achieve independence across these regions.
The Suttons Bay and Bingham Endowment supports projects that strengthen community well-being, with a focus on areas such as youth development, arts and culture, environment, health, and human services. It encourages initiatives that preserve local heritage, enhance educational opportunities, and promote community engagement. Eligible projects should benefit residents of Suttons Bay, Bingham Township, or the Village of Suttons Bay, including programs that address critical local needs or foster inclusivity and sustainability
