The mission focuses on addressing community needs across Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, and Leelanau counties. 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 grant program aims to support environmental education activities for Benzie County residents, funded by the John N. Barnes Environmental Education Endowment. This endowment honors the memory of John N. Barnes, who had a profound love for the beauty of Benzie County and tragically passed away at the age of 24. The grants from this endowment seek to continue his legacy by promoting environmental education within Benzie County, thereby preserving and spreading his passion for nature and the outdoors to further generations.
