The SACF serves as a community leader and resource for
philanthropy in the community. We are unique in our ability
to make grants in so many diverse areas of community need.
Our donors make gifts that allow us to continue to improve
the Sturgis area today and tomorrow.
The Foundation supports a broad range of programs and
projects, returning thousands of dollars each year to
the Sturgis area. Foundation grants support the area homeless
as well as various educational, cultural, healthcare and
recreational projects. Scholarships and student loans
are also part of our activities.
We have the flexibility to:
•
Support high-impact opportunities…those that will
make the greatest difference in our community.
•
Serve as a catalyst for bringing organizations
into existence as needs arise.
•
Re-direct funds as appropriate if and when our
community's needs change.
We can help your gifts make the greatest impact in your community.
Grants in support of:
• Sturgis Hospital Building Project
• Sturgis Youth & Family
• KeyStone Place
• Sturgis Neighborhood Program
• Domestic Assault Shelter
• Sturgis Senior Center
• Youth for Christ
These are just a few of the many organizations helped by
the Sturgis Area Community Foundation. Recent years have witnessed
the return to the community of over $500,000 in grant dollars.

$225,000 in scholarships. Over 200 students have benefited from
