Description
The Charlevoix County Community Foundation’s Environment & Land Use Cycle supports environmental education, protection, restoration, and sustainability initiatives in Charlevoix County and the Lake Charlevoix Watershed, as well as the organizations making that work possible. Recreation initiatives that provide access to natural resources may also be considered. The program advances the foundation’s mission to enhance residents’ quality of life now and for generations to come.
The cycle favors collaborative work, responses to new needs, new approaches to existing needs, problem prevention, and efforts that avoid duplicating services. Requests should identify a clear need and explain how well-planned activities will address it with lasting community impact. Donor advisors may also choose to support applications through the cycle.
