Summary — Michigan House Resolution No. 210 (Community Foundation Week)

Main purpose

This non‑binding House resolution designates November 12–18, 2025, as "Community Foundation Week" in the state of Michigan to recognize and celebrate the role community foundations play in strengthening local communities across the state.

Key provisions

    • Community Foundation Week was established nationally in 1989.
    • Michigan has “more than 60” community foundations, affiliates, and area funds serving urban, suburban, and rural communities.
    • Community foundations act as stewards of assets, conveners of public/private/nonprofit partners, and first‑responders in times of local crisis.
    • Michigan community foundations participate in the Council of Michigan Foundations and adhere to Community Foundations National Standards.
  • Notes examples of foundations’ crisis response (e.g., tornadoes and ice storms in Gaylord, southwest and northern Michigan).
  • Encourages recognition of community foundations’ ongoing contributions to community resilience and local philanthropy.

Who is affected

  • Primarily honorary: Michigan community foundations, their affiliates and area funds, local nonprofit partners, public officials, donors, and community residents benefit from heightened recognition and public awareness.
