During the week of November 12th – 18th, the M&M Area Community Foundation (MMACF) will join more than 700 community foundations across the U.S. in observing Community Foundation Week. Created by Presidential decree in 1989, the designation recognizes the partnerships developed by community foundations with public, private and nonprofit sectors as they collaborate to build community.
Community foundations are playing an ever-increasing role as communities seek to capture the generosity of both individual and corporate donors. Foundations provide guidance for charitable giving and the development of public support for strategic action vital to healthy growth.
“Our work succeeds because people are coming to the realization that our future depends on the actions we take today,” said Paula Gruszynski, MMACF Executive Director. “Very little can be accomplished without strong leadership and the resources to support a plan of action. Our Board of Directors believes our legacy will be defined through collaboration, strategic planning and a willingness to lead,” she concluded.
The MMACF strives to impact lives, address needs and improve the quality of life throughout Marinette and Menominee Counties. The Foundation offers tools and resources to make giving easy flexible and effective. Visit mmacf.org or call 906-864-3599 to learn more about the MMACF and for ideas on how you can make an impact!
