About Tuscola County Community Foundation
Tuscola County Community Foundation’s grantmaking is shaped by a place-based endowment built to make Tuscola County a better place to live. In the recent grant record, the largest award went to Caro Community Schools for $105,771 in 2024, showing the foundation’s ability to back major local priorities alongside smaller community grants. Schools appear repeatedly among the top awards, including Cass City Public Schools, Unionville-Sebewaing Schools, Vassar High School, and Tuscola Technology Center, which points to sustained support for education and youth-serving institutions. The foundation also funds community organizations and services tied to local quality of life, with grants to groups such as the Caro Masonic Mt Moriah Lodge, Millington Community Center, and Village of Cass City. That mix fits its broader program set, which includes scholarships, youth development, basic human needs, homelessness prevention, arts and culture, health services, and community development. Its active funds show both competitive grantmaking and donor-directed cycles, combining broad community support with purpose-specific funds for local needs.
