Saginaw Community Foundation

WE ARE THE SAGINAW COMMUNITY Saginaw County is home. It is a beautiful community you’d be foolish to underestimate. We may have our challenges, but seeing its cities, villages and townships continue to grow and flourish gives us a sense of satisfaction and pride like none other. Back in 1984, The Saginaw Community Foundation was founded to enhance the quality of life in our county by providing leadership, education, and support for philanthropy. Today, we still continue this mission of supporting the needs of our community through targeted grants, investments, and scholarships. In addition to our grantmaking and scholarship programs, the Foundation also offers donor advised funds, which allow donors to recommend charitable grants to organizations of their choice. We also manage several endowed funds, which provide ongoing support for specific causes or organizations. Saginaw Community Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors composed of community leaders and volunteers. A staff of professionals oversee our day-to-day operations and work with donors and community organizations to identify and address community needs. WHAT WE DO MAKING AN IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY We strive to advance Saginaw County through investments, charitable giving, awareness-building, and convening groups together to address the most pressing issues affecting our community. The Foundation’s primary responsibilities include the determination of most effective solutions, and facilitating these solutions into existence.
