Recognizing the dignity and beauty of Mackinac Island, the Mackinac Island Community Foundation serves the general well-being of Island residents and visitors. Our purpose is to raise permanent endowment and special purpose funds, manage them and distribute the earnings for charitable purposes. We are a vehicle to hold private resources for the Island’s common good. We operate under the simple concept that charitable money will grow over time when wisely invested and so will continue to have an impact long after the original gift is made.
