Description
The Suttons Bay and Bingham Endowment is administered by the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation through its Fall Grants program in the Community Development category. It supports a variety of organizations, community projects, and programs benefiting Suttons Bay and Bingham Townships and the Village of Suttons Bay. Its focus is broad rather than limited to a single type of activity.
Established in 1995, the endowment grew from founding supporter Owen Bahle’s commitment to the Suttons Bay community, with many other donors subsequently joining that effort. The fund serves Leelanau and lists education, sports and recreation, and youth development among its causes.
