Four County Community Foundation
Standout Schools
Four County Community Foundation’s service area is home to standout school districts—they serve as social hubs in the community, educate students and provide all kinds of enriching experiences for families.
In a typical year, one-third of grant dollars awarded by Four County Community Foundation (4CCF) goes to our local school districts, but educational needs are increasing. That’s why, with a new school year just underway, the foundation is launching their “Standout Schools” giving campaign and drawing attention to their newly re-branded Education Funds.
Donors can easily give to any of 4CCF’s seven Education Funds and those dollars will then be available to school staff year-round through the Foundation’s competitive grant cycle. Educators, administrators and club leaders will be encouraged to apply for funding for a wide range of projects that enhance the learning experience for their students. Currently, individual Education Funds exist for Almont, Capac, Dryden, Imlay City, Memphis and Romeo school districts along with a general Four County Education Fund that’s available to any district within 4CCF’s service area. The funds are also capable of accepting gifts of appreciated stock, real estate, life insurance, commodities (including grain) and contributions from personal estates.
Since 1992, the Foundation has held seven school-based funds that provided mini-grants to classroom teachers at all age levels. Today, the purpose of those funds has been updated to go beyond just classroom projects and now includes funding for field trips, student clubs, and other initiatives that enhance learning, foster creativity, and build community within the schools.
