Description
The Blue Water Arts Committee supports arts and cultural programs and projects in the local Blue Water Area. It serves as an advisory committee to the Community Foundation of St. Clair County, advising on grant decisions for this work. Funding is made possible by the Charles and Margaret Anderson Foundation Endowment Fund, which is held at the Community Foundation.
This opportunity is part of the Foundation’s broader grantmaking program. The Foundation evaluates requests for charitable purpose, organizational management and financial stability, project feasibility, and community impact. Its guidelines also allow occasional support for new charitable organizations with a compelling case for impact that aligns with the Foundation’s mission, goals, and values.
