The Hillsdale County Community Foundation was established in 1991 “For good. For ever.” As a community grant-making foundation, it provides seed money to organizations and institutions that have identified problems and have designed constructive action programs aimed at solutions. A majority of the Community Foundation’s grant making is focused on the areas of youth, leadership, philanthropy and volunteerism.
