The Board and Staff of the Allegan County Community Foundation (ACCF) are pleased to announce 2023 Legacy Grant awards totaling $215,552 to Allegan County non-profits. We are proud to support numerous non-profit organizations in the county and the services they provide to Allegan County residents.
The ACCF Distribution Committee meets annually to review and recommend Legacy Grants to the ACCF Board. Community members from around the county sit on the distribution committee to represent different areas of our county. Committee member Jim Sellman, who represents the Saugatuck/Douglas area, shared that “being a part of the process of the Legacy Grant Awards through the ACCF, is a great honor. It is a real eye opener in that it shows we live in a community of people that have a genuine interest for the social, physical and mental well-being of their fellow citizens as evidenced by the grant applications submitted. There is a great financial need by service and nonprofit organizations to assist in the betterment of the lives of those they serve and the ACCF grant process is a huge contributor to helping meet that need. This in turn improves the quality of life for so many residents of Allegan County. “
In addition to our Legacy Fund, grants are funded by the ACCFNow Fund, Malila Fund, Perrigo Endowment Fund, The Honorable Chester Ray Memorial Endowment Fund, Allegan County College Access Fund, Gladys E. Fox Charitable Trust Fund, Phoenix Rose Funds, Saugatuck Douglas Community Fund, Tobacco Settlement Fund, and two of our generous Donor-Advised Funds.
