Created
with a portion of the proceeds from the National Tobacco Settlement,
this fund will support initiatives to benefit seniors and
youth on Mackinac. The Mackinac Island Community Foundation
is one of 66 certified community foundations, covering the
state, to receive an allocation through the Council of Michigan
Foundations from the State of Michigan's share of the national
tobacco settlement.
Mackinac Island, and every other participating
community foundation, has formed a local advisory committee
to make decisions on the projects to be supported by the funds.
Included in the committee are representatives from MICF’s
Youth Advisory Committee.
