Thank you for supporting this important annual event and sharing it with others. Your donations play a vital role in creating long-term transformation through the efforts of our nonprofit partners in the Midland area. Give Local Midland provides a unique opportunity for nonprofits to focus their efforts on building long-term sustainability through their endowment funds held at the Community Foundation. Your support of nonprofit endowment funds helps enrich and improve the quality of life in our community, bringing us closer to our collective goal of creating an exceptional place where everyone thrives.
At the Community Foundation, we believe in the power of collective giving and handle all the administrative details and fees associated with the giving day, meaning that donors’ dollars go even further.
