Since 1965, the Allegan County Community Foundation has helped area residents maximize the effectiveness of their charitable giving. The ACCF is a public charity serving thousands of donors and non-profit agencies who share a common goal; improving the quality of life in Allegan County.

Donors are the difference between whether a non-profit survives or not. At the Allegan County Community Foundation, we are celebrating our 54th anniversary in 2019. We have the been fortunate to have donors who have trusted the work of the Foundation and made contributions that allow us to invest grants in organizations that feed the hungry, house the homeless, entertain the masses and care for the children.
