PHILANTHROPY LEADERSHIP LEVEL Donor Partners

The power of collective giving is reflected in the names you see listed here. Because of these donors’ annual support, we can allocate resources to build the local economy, promote thriving community and respond to our community’s ever-changing needs. The importance of this support was no doubt demonstrated this past year in Grand Rapids Community Foundation’s ability to respond to the COVID-19 crisis and racial and social unrest. This important unrestricted support makes our work possible now and into the future. These leadership giving levels recognize our annual donors who made gifts—or payments towards a pledge—between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, to support our Fund for Community Good, Fund for Education, Fund for Engagement, Fund for Prosperity, Fund for the Environment, Fund for Health or Fund for Neighborhoods. This year’s listing also includes those who generously donated to the Kent County Covid-19 Recovery Fund.
