No. Anyone can be a philanthropist – there are many ways to craft a giving plan that suits your needs and charitable goals. It does not require vast wealth, just a concern for helping others in our community.

Absolutely. All active funds held by the Frankenmuth Community Foundation receive donations in any amount at any time of the year. Some residents suggest to their friends and family that a donation to a specific fund at the community foundation would be preferred to gifts in honor of a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion.

Grants from the FCF's Unrestricted General Fund and the Palmer Fund are determined by the Board of Governors. This group meets several times per year to review grant applications and works to ensure that worthy projects and programs are supported. Scholarship are decided primarily by the Frankenmuth School District, a review committee or as directed at the time of the scholarship fund creation.  Grants from any Donor Advised Funds are determined by members of the group that established fund, often times family members, then approved by the FCF Board
