For our 50th anniversary, we continued to celebrate that generosity, the hope each gift has given, and the bright future we can create with our community.
We invite every individual, family, business, and organization to be involved in caring about our neighbors and our home. Your engagement truly is the anchor of our work.

Responding in a Time of Crisis

What can giving just 5% do for the community you love?
It could result in $1.1 billion in charitable gifts! We could change the future of Northwest Ottawa County together.
