Community Service Fund Spotlight: Mulligan's Hollow Ski Bowl Capital Campaign Fund ❄️🎿

For generations, Mulligan's Hollow has been more than a ski hill. It's where local kids learn to ski, families make winter memories, and neighbors come together to enjoy the season.

Today, we're investing in the future of this beloved community asset. The Mulligan's Hollow Ski Bowl Capital Campaign Fund supports critical snowmaking equipment, infrastructure improvements, installation, storage, and renovations that help keep the hill operating for years to come.

Every gift helps preserve an important part of Grand Haven's heritage while ensuring future generations can experience the same winter traditions we cherish today. 🤍

✨ A lasting legacy is measured by the lives we touch.

Behind every charitable gift is a story, a passion, or a cause that matters deeply to someone.

Planned giving can help ensure the organizations and initiatives you care about continue their important work for years to come. It's an opportunity to turn your values into lasting impact and make a difference well into the future.

Your generosity can help write the next chapter of our community's story.

Yesterday, our team had the opportunity to walk the pier and tour the iconic Grand Haven lighthouses, learning more about the history and significance of one of our community's most treasured landmarks. From the first lighthouse established in 1839 to the red lights that continue to guide ships today, these structures have been part of Grand Haven's story for generations.

At the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation, we're proud to support the preservation of these historic landmarks by hosting dedicated funds that help make restoration and long-term maintenance possible. Through the generosity of donors, these funds support efforts to protect and preserve the lighthouses for future generations to enjoy.

Experiencing the lighthouses up close was a wonderful reminder of the rich history, community pride, and sense of place that make the Grand Haven area so special. We're grateful to be part of the ongoing effort to preserve this important piece of our shared heritage. ❤️⚓

Interested in supporting the preservation of the lighthouses? Contributions can be made through the Community Foundation's dedicated lighthouse funds.

Your legacy can be about so much more than what you leave behind. It can be about the good you make possible.

Earlier this week, our team attended the 54th Annual CMF Conference in Grand Rapids, joining community foundation leaders from across Michigan to learn, collaborate, and share ideas that strengthen our communities.

We were proud to see Hadley Streng, President & CEO of the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation, play a leadership role as a member of the conference hosting committee, helping make this statewide gathering a success.

We were also excited to have Meg Bouman, Program Officer at the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation, present alongside Yadab Ramirez of the Holland/Zeeland Community Foundation on “Elevating Youth Voice Through Equitable Grantmaking,” sharing insights on the importance of engaging young people in philanthropy and grantmaking.

We're grateful for opportunities like the CMF Conference that foster collaboration, innovation, and learning, and we're excited to bring new ideas back to the communities we serve. đź’™
