About Us

The Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation exists to enhance the quality of life in our communities, now and forever, by serving as a leader of local philanthropy.

We do this by:
- Developing and supporting a diverse collection of permanent endowments supported by a wide range of donors.
- Involving a large number of regional volunteers in building endowments and in awarding grants to benefit our communities.
- Developing an understanding of the role of charitable giving in filling community needs.
- Empowering youth to make a difference through grant making and leadership.
