We’re proud of our Youth Advisory Committee members who recently attended a leadership conference at SVSU.

The conference provided an opportunity for students to build leadership skills, connect with peers from across the region, and explore ways they can make a positive impact in their communities.

Thank you to our YAC members for representing Isabella County and bringing back new ideas to strengthen youth philanthropy and community leadership.

☀️Fund Friday☀️

For generations, the Coyne family has been committed to making a difference in the Mt. Pleasant community.

Through the Coyne Family Fund, Dave and Linda Coyne continue that tradition of giving back. The family established a donor-advised fund at the Community Foundation to support the efforts of nonprofit organizations in Isabella County.

Recently, the Coyne Family Fund was utilized to cover some costs associated with sending the Mt. Pleasant High School’s Rockefeller Robotics Team 8837 to the World’s competition.

Thank you, Coyne Family, for investing in our community! Linda Coyne also serves on our Board of Trustees, Grant Review Committee, and Women's Initiative. We are grateful for her leadership!

What a special evening as scholarship recipients, donors, families, mentors, fund representatives, board and committee members, and friends came together to celebrate MPACF's 2026 Scholarship recipients.

This year, out of more than 2,500 applications, 109 students were selected to receive scholarships totaling $227,025.

A night like this takes a village. We are especially grateful to our 173 volunteer scholarship reviewers who dedicated countless hours to reading applications and helping select this year’s recipients.

And a special thank you to our board member and photographer, Dan Gaken, for capturing so many memorable moments throughout the celebration.

Congratulations to all of our scholarship recipients, and thank you to the donors whose generosity continues to open doors and create opportunities for students across Isabella County.

What a wonderful way to close out scholarship season!

Meet Miika Prout, a senior at Mt. Pleasant High School, who has been on the YAC for five years. Miika has been a mentor to many new members during her time on YAC and has also enjoyed trying different committees to gain new experiences. One of her favorite YAC memories is attending the Summer Leadership Conference with her fellow YACers and growing her leadership skills in the process. After graduation, Miika plans to stay on the YAC as a senior member while studying biomedical, cellular, and molecular sciences at Central Michigan University.

When asked if she had a message to share with future YAC’ers, she shared this: “Don’t be afraid to try new things and get out of your comfort zone”.

Congrats Miika!
