Founded in 2001 Giving Back to Alpena

The Alpena Community Foundation was established in the year 2000 to support charitable and nonprofit purposes in the Alpena area at the recommendation of a local Board of Directors. Stan Kopfmann and the SDCF teamed up to challenge the community with an initial match challenge.

Even though we are an agent of the SDCF, we are able to accept and administer charitable gifts, give grants to our local nonprofit groups and organizations, and also give scholarships to hopeful young people from our region. Our volunteer advisory council works hard to ensure funds are going to groups and organizations that need it most.

Grants

The Alpena Community Foundation has given back $17,419 to the community since inception. For more information about grant opportunities, please contact our advisory council members.

Our Contributors

We only exist thanks to the generosity of our faithful contributors and investors.

Thanks to the following contributors, over $72,800 has been donated to the Alpena Community Foundation allowing for $17,400 in grants to be distributed back to beneficial projects. Thank you for your support!
