Becoming a Donor

alt
Fred & Ann Bleakley were the first to take advantage of our Build A Fund account, which gives donors an easy way to work toward creating their own fund.  They made regular gifts for a few years, and in 2007 they became proud Donor Advised Fund holders! 
In simple terms, philanthropists are caring people who dedicate funds to causes that are important to them.

The Community Foundation for Muskegon County makes it easy for you to be a philanthropist. There's very little red tape. Usually, a simple one-page document is all that is needed to establish a fund.
