The Mecosta County Community Foundation was organized in 1989 to improve the quality of life for Mecosta County residents by attracting, accepting and managing charitable gifts and bequests from many sources to meet the needs of the community.

The vehicle used for the disbursement of these monies is the “Mecosta County Fund”. This Fund is a component of the Fremont Area Community Foundation in which monies are held for the exclusive benefit of the Mecosta County Community Foundation.

The monies available for distribution as grants primarily represent the net earnings on the principal of unrestricted discretionary funds or restricted funds which individuals have designated for specific purposes. The Foundation grants these available funds to qualified charitable organizations.

Grant requests will be considered for projects designed to address community needs in the areas of the arts, education, health, environment, social services, community development and the conservation and preservation of historical and cultural resources.

To apply for a MCCF grant, please complete the grant application form as well as providing the needed attachments. We must receive five (5) copies of your application and accompanying forms by our grant deadline. We have two grant deadlines each year: April 1 and October 1.

Please submit the grant-evaluation-form upon completion of the grant. You may fill it out on-line, print it and mail it or download the form to fill out either as a fill-in document or simply print the blank form and fill it out manually.

Sincerely,

Scott Hill-Kennedy
