Affiliation with Community Foundation for Muskegon County

In January 2009, the Manistee County Community Foundation affiliated with the Community Foundation for Muskegon County. The Muskegon Foundation provides centralized financial management and administrative support for its affiliate units, which include the Manistee Community Foundation, the Community Foundation for Mason County, and the Community Foundation for Oceana County. The Community Foundation for Muskegon County is one of the Top 6 community foundations in Michigan and among the Top 100 in the U.S.  Today they manage over 935 funds and hold assets of over $112 million.
