Thanks to your generous support, this was one of our biggest impact years ever! Your support allows us to work together to make a significant positive impact in our community for good, for all, forever.
We granted nearly $10.5 million to for-impact organizations through existing funds, including Donor-Advised and Field of Interest. We also awarded more than $1.7 million in Community Impact Grants through more than two dozen grants to local for-impact partners, including one of our largest grants. We received more than $12.5 million in donations.
Earlier this year, more than 220 local students received over $650,000 in scholarships to achieve their education and career dreams. Our current scholarship application is open and due Feb. 1.
In addition:
- More than $260,000 was donated online
- Generous local donors opened more than 25 new funds.
- Facilitated more than $1.3 million in appreciated stock donations.
- Facilitated more than $200K in Qualified Charitable Distributions.
- Together, we reached net assets of just over $186 million by year’s end.
As you can see, your generosity means a great deal to Northwest Ottawa County. We couldn’t make this difference in our community without you.
