Funds > Mackinac College Legacy Fund

The Mackinac College Legacy Fund was established by Mackinac College Alumni whose love of the Island grew from a shared school bond. As one member, Brian Suelzer stated, "Because the college doesn't exist anymore, creating the fund is one way that we can give back to the Island in gratitude for the wonderful experiences we had in school."

Distributions from the Mackinac College Legacy Fund will be allocated equally to support educational and environmental projects.

Education grants will be directed toward programs which prepare students to function in a global and diverse workplace. Education grants may also include supplemental funding assistance for programs at risk due to reduced funding from regular sources.

Environmental grants will focus on projects that seek to protect, maintain, or expand the unique natural resources of the Island.

Additional projects will address means of educating the tourists and young people and on environmental issues using the Island setting.

The Mackinac College Legacy Fund has been established in honor, gratitude and tribute to the College experience and its motto "To Learn. To Live. To Lead."
