The Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation seeks to enhance the quality of life for all citizens of Isabella County, now and for generations to come, by attracting and holding permanent endowed funds from a wide range of donors, addressing needs through grant making, and providing leadership on key community issues.
The grant program from the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation seeks to support a wide array of community programs through grants drawn from its extensive collection of endowed funds. These programs may vary widely but are united in their goal to address specific charitable purposes identified by the community and the donors. The grantmaking process involves matching applications to endowed funds that align with the proposed program or project's aims, with final grant decisions made by the Foundation's Board of Trustees. While the Foundation is open to applications for all program types, there is a particular focus on projects that address key issues identified by Isabella County residents, specifically the lack of sufficiently paying jobs and concerns related to crime, violence, or bullying. These priorities were determined based on a community needs assessment conducted in 2018.
