The C K Eddy Family Memorial Fund concentrates large, place-based gifts in Mid‑Michigan with a strong emphasis on local arts and community infrastructure, while also supporting health, faith‑based social services, and youth programs. Grants are typically sizable and directed to a small set of repeat recipients — including a named concert band, the local community foundation, and service organizations — suggesting a preference for sustaining established institutions that serve Saginaw-area cultural, charitable, and rehabilitation needs.
The C K Eddy Family Memorial Fund’s recent giving is anchored by large, recurring support for Saginaw Eddy Concert Band, including $158,000 in 2024 and $146,000 in 2025, which places performing arts at the center of its grantmaking. Across the latest 23 grants, the fund distributed $1,874,936 in annual grants, with awards often sized for organizational stability rather than one-time projects. Alongside arts support, the fund has backed a small set of Saginaw-area institutions that address community needs through health care, social services, and local philanthropy. Its pattern of support points to long-term relationships with established nonprofits. Saginaw Community Foundation received $139,500 in 2024 and $131,797 in 2025 for general operating support, while Rescue Ministries of Mid-Michigan received $150,000 in 2024 for general operating support. The fund also made a $200,000 general-support grant to Mary Free Bed at Covenant Healthcare in 2023, showing that its largest awards are directed to service organizations with clear local roles. The mix of band support, community foundation funding, and human-services grants suggests a funder that favors sustained community infrastructure in and around Saginaw.
A clear thread in the C K Eddy Family Memorial Fund’s grantmaking is support for performing arts. The fund gave $158,000 to Saginaw Eddy Concert Band in 2024 and $132,200 in 2023 for the band’s 90th anniversary, indicating repeat backing for the ensemble’s operations and milestone activity. Community philanthropy is another visible theme. Saginaw Community Foundation received $139,500 in 2024 and $131,797 in 2025 for general operating support, showing sustained institutional support. The fund also supports social services and youth programming. Rescue Ministries of Mid-Michigan received $150,000 in 2024 for general operating support, Holy Cross Children’s Services received $100,000 in 2024, and Saginaw Community Fdn Fbo Youth First received $110,255 in 2023 for Youth First programs. Those grants place basic needs and youth services alongside arts funding in the fund’s portfolio.
Typical awards are substantial: the 25th percentile is $47,375, the median is $105,128, and the 75th percentile is $147,375. The latest filing shows a small number of large grants rather than many small ones, with several awards clustered around six figures. Recipients also recur across years, including Saginaw Eddy Concert Band, Saginaw Community Foundation, United Way Worldwide, and CMU Medical Education Partners. The fund is classified as a regular funder, makes no grants to individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The grant record reflects direct institutional giving rather than an application-based open call.
