In 2026, Fremont Area Community Foundation will celebrate 75 years of generosity and impact in Newaygo County. As part of this milestone anniversary, we are looking for 75 new people who want to support the community they love both today and into the future.
These people are emerging philanthropists–passionate, driven, and committed to making lasting change in our community. As we draw closer to our 75th anniversary, this group will play a vital role in building the future of Newaygo County.
To join Our Next 75, we only ask three simple things:
1. Give today
Establish a named fund or make an annual gift of $250 or more to an endowed fund at the Community Foundation.
2. Give tomorrow
Include the Community Foundation in your estate plan.
3. Share your story
Share with us why you chose to give back to the community.
Dawn Williams: First Member of Our Next 75
At age 15, Dawn Williams was the Hair Station’s first receptionist. Today she’s the Fremont salon’s owner. Along with her daughter Morgan, Dawn had an idea to create a fund that would help cosmetology students at the Newaygo County Career-Tech Center pay for tests and equipment they need to get started in their careers. Using the Build-a-Fund program, the Hair Station Fund is steadily growing with help from staff and clients.
