Our Mission

Our Foundation Supports Educational and Economic Pursuits

Cheboygan County Community Foundation’s purpose is founded to create jobs, improve educational opportunities, increase tourism, expand retail and commercial offerings and enhance the economic health of Cheboygan County. We do this by collecting donations from the public and passing it through to entities who make the changes in the County. Depending on your tax position, your donations may be tax-deductible (check with your tax professional). Donations may be in the form of cash or assets. As noted above, we use these donations to support projects that create additional jobs in Cheboygan County, improve educational opportunities, attract tourists to Michigan’s Inland Waterway, and expand retail and commercial offerings. We are confident that these well-considered pursuits will enhance the economic health and future of Cheboygan County. Some of our recent projects have included funds used to provide technology updates to Habitat for Humanity, enhance marketing campaigns for the Cheboygan Chamber of Commerce, and provided education and employment opportunity grants to the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan. We had also provided COVID relief funds to the Greater Mackinaw, Cheboygan Area, and Indian River Chambers of Commerce.
