Description
The Joan Rajkovich McGarry Family Education Endowment supports programs and activities related to nutrition in Grand Traverse and Leelanau Counties. Offered by the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation through its Fall Grants process, the endowment places particular emphasis on school-aged children and obesity issues. Its focus encompasses both programs and activities, with nutrition as the shared priority rather than a single specified project format.
The opportunity supports organizations serving either county, including the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. Grant partners are invited to share project or program outcomes through a final report, helping the Foundation understand the work supported and communicate its successes to supporters, community partners, and the public.
