The Community Foundation of Plymouth is dedicated to enriching the quality of life in the Plymouth area by providing grants to organizations that support our mission.

These organizations must:
- Be 501(c) public charities.
- Encourage the self-sufficiency and well-being of residents within the 48170 zip code.
- Encourage programs which are collaborative, comprehensive and have the potential to be continuous.
- Encourage leveraging and matching grant opportunities from multiple funders.
- Support "seed" money opportunities for innovative projects.

While the Community Foundation of Plymouth remains flexible in trying to meet community needs, the following are areas that will generally not be considered for funding at this time:

- Routine operating expenses
- Travel, tours or trips
- Endowment campaigns
- Special fundraising events and sponsorships
- Organizations that do not provide services to the greater Plymouth, Michigan area
- Political organizations
- Existing obligations or debts/liabilities
- Individuals
- Issues that divide us, not unite us

Christmas in July - oh what fun!

It was an evening to remember on July 25th in Westland. Christmas in July has become a staple of Westland community, every year organized by Westland Community Foundation.

Our celebration included a Christmas Tree with so many toys under it, brought by our guests to donate to Westland Salvation Army.

The  evening had delicious food and premium drinks from open bar. The guests also brought non perishable food items to donate to Salvation Army.

The air was filled with laughter and christmas carols.

This is the tradition which our Foundation wishes to continue with the help of generous donors, whose hearts are so big.

We would like to give a huge shouout to main sponsors who helped us to make this evening possible.
