Students at Trinity Lutheran School in Marinette held a Penny Drive to raise money for the Future Fund children’s saving account program established by the M&M Area Community Foundation. Their two-week effort raised $772.53.
Starting with the 2019 – 2020 school year, kindergarten students across Marinette and Menominee Counties have a $50 deposit-only savings account started for them by the M&M Area Community Foundation. Then, each year until graduation the Foundation adds more money to each student’s account. Savings accounts may be used for any post-secondary education or training upon graduation from high school.
The Community Foundation established the Future Fund program to benefit all students across Marinette and Menominee Counties. The Foundation has a goal of raising $2,000,000 to permanently endow this Fund. In order to reach their goal, the MMACF continues to seek donations from community members. Contributions to the Future Fund may be made online at www.mmacf.org. Checks may be mailed to the Foundation’s office at 1110 10th Avenue, Suite L-1, Menominee, MI 49858.
