Making Two
Great Communities
Even Better

Until now these two communities were one of the largest combined areas without a foundation. We are passionate about the future of our community, ensuring resources for future generations.
howto get involved
Share your time, talent, and/or treasure with the community. Participate in one of our subcommittees or support the foundation financially. No gift is too small.
Our Endowment Campaign—$2 million, 2 communities, 2 years
To increase our community assets in three areas:
A Community Chest: Donated funds will create a permanent endowment. Interest income will be invested into the community.
The Foundation will act as a clearing house of community needs, helping marshal private funds to accomplish goals.
The Foundation will develop programs for leadership development and local talent retention.
It starts with YOU. And your passion for our community. Help us create and build funds
for Grandville/Walker.
One of our key roles as a foundation is to address community needs for both today and the future.
By building an endowment fund, you will be making sure that grants for our community are available.
The GWF Board has strong ties to their community, with more than 200 combined years of living or working in Grandville/Walker. The Grandville Walker Foundation was created by and for the people in the community.
