Our story begins in 1951. Our goal looks to 2025 and beyond.
Fremont Area Community Foundation began when visionary philanthropists set out to change the future of Newaygo County forever.
They laid the groundwork for a Community Foundation that has become one of the largest in the U.S. on a per capita basis.
The Community Foundation exists to improve the quality of life for residents in Newaygo County. We do this by connecting community needs with the passions of families, businesses, and individuals.
