Partnerships for Success
One of our goals, as a community foundation, is to bring people together in our local area and form partnerships that will benefit Livingston County. We partner with various charitable and dynamic organizations whose programs are built to improve lives in our community, and we aid in their mission through endowments from generous donors. If your organization or program has a vision for improving the well-being of those in Livingston County but could use some extra help, consider partnering with us at the Community Foundation.
Our Grant Making Philosophy
The Community Foundation believes in improving the lives of our local citizens; therefore, we only award grants to projects and organizations that will make an impact within Livingston County. Our belief and standard for grant recipients is that their project or program must demonstrate a high level of sustainability and a passion for improving an aspect of Livingston County.
The Community Foundation will make grants to 501(c)(3) public charities, government entities, school districts, and universities that provide programs that serve Livingston County. If an organization is not based in Livingston County, it must demonstrate connections to the local community. Organizations must have an independent certified financial audit, or in some cases a financial review. We do not make grants to individuals, sectarian religious programs, or to cover deficits or other previously incurred obligations.
A Grant In Action
New Tech High, a relatively recent academic addition to Pinckney Community High School, received a grant from the Community Foundation for Livingston County to get the program started, and the grant also leveraged additional funding from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan. Julia McBride, Director of Instruction for Pinckney New Tech High, discusses how the unique academic program made its way to PCHS and how the Project Based Learning curriculum has made a positive impact on students and the community.
