The Algonac/Clay Community Fund was established by local residents to be a source of funding for programs, projects and organizations in the Algonac and Clay communities. The fund was established in 2004 and began making grants in 2006. Since that time the Fund has awarded over 100 grants totaling over $90,000!
Some of their most recent grants included:
- Algonac Youth Football League – Support and equipment
- Oak Bluff Auto – Community transportation
- Girl Scout Troop 76974 – buddy benches
- First Evangelical Lutheran Church – community supper
- Harsens Island St. Clair Flats Association – park upgrades
- Algonac/Clay Historical Society
In addition to individual donations received throughout the year, the Algonac/Clay Community Fund holds an annual Cinco de Mayo fundraising event the first Friday of May.
Grants may be applied for until April 1. The grant must benefit organizations directly in Algonac or Clay Township. The 2021 grants will be awarded in May, with or without the annual Cinco de Mayo dinner.
Applications are available at Northstar Bank, located at 900 Pointe Tremble Road in Algonac. For more information, email Grant Giving Committee Chairwoman Amy Amiels at amy@amielsenterprises.com
