Friends of the Foundation 2014
Dear Residents and Friends of Mackinac Island,
The Mackinac Island Community Foundation celebrated its 20th year in 2014, while the first Community Foundation
celebrated their 100th anniversary. Celebrations were held last summer to honor these events. Your past generosity is
highlighted in this report. We are especially proud to report that we reached our 5-year goal of raising $1 million to endow
the Founders Scholarship Fund. All high school graduates of Mackinac Island, who apply and meet the scholarship
requirements, will receive $2,000 for four years.
We look forward to 2015. Our Board has been setting goals for this year and beyond. In addition to the numerous grants
that you will see highlighted in this report, we will be funding First Aid and CPR/AED classes, giving grants for the
removal of Norway maple debris from the city and private properties, and working on a program to set up college savings
plans for children on the Island. Your gifts have made these grants and programs possible.
Andrew Carnegie said, “No man can become rich without enriching others.” Thank you to the entire community for your
continued support and allowing us to make your life rich by enriching the lives of others.

Mission Statement
Recognizing the dignity and beauty of Mackinac Island, the Mackinac Island
Community Foundation serves the general well-being of Island residents and visitors.
Our purpose is to raise permanent endowment and special purpose funds, manage them
and distribute the earnings for charitable purposes. We are a vehicle to hold private
resources for the Island’s common good. We operate under the simple concept that
charitable money will grow over time when wisely invested and so will continue to
have an impact long after the original gift is made.
Friends of the Foundation 2014
MICF is indebted to the many residents and visitors who have helped and continue to help build a strong and
vibrant Community Foundation to serve the unique and wonderful resource that is Mackinac.
Thank you for your gifts of time and resources.
