South Haven Community Foundation and COVID-19
Each and every one of our board members as well as our endowment partners are members of our community. We too are concerned about the Covid-19 virus and the potential for it to adversely affect each and every one of our community members. We want you to know we, are along with our Youth Advisory Council (YAC) are in the beginning stages of reviewing our grant applications (deadline has been extended to April 6, 2020).
Our fellow 501c3’s are struggling and like our restaurant and bars in town are faced with laying off their help, many of whom are part time and even volunteers. We also recognize that many of these same 501c3’s count on each and every one of us for their support, both financial as well as time and talents. Please join us in this time of uncertainty by First: following the state and Federal guidelines “to flatten the curve”, keep yourselves and families safe, Secondly: where you are able, please remember our charities which are also our communities’ treasures. Many of them have had fund raisers requiring attendance which is no longer possible. Where you can support them, we know they will appreciate it.
Splash Pad Matching Fund
Dollar for Dollar Donation Drive
We have partnered with the City of South Haven to help raise funds for the much anticipated community splash pad. The Splash Pad is a well needed addition to our beach town community as it will provide families with a fun and safe water alternative to Lake Michigan’s sometimes rough and unpredictable conditions.
The GSHACF is dedicated to making positive impacts in our community.
We will match every dollar donated by the general public to our Splash Pad Matching Fund up to $25,000, in an effort to raise $50,000. Please send checks to P.O. Box 507 South Haven, MI 49090 or contribute directly on our website, note Splash Pad Matching Fund.
Let’s work together for our community.
Every dollar will help make summer safer for families.
