Ghacf Supports 13 Organizations with Nearly 600K in Grants
Foundation: Grand Haven Area Community Foundation
Kenzie's Be Caf, a coffee shop in Grand Haven, Mich., that's helping more than 20 people with intellectual and developmental delays and other special needs find "meaningful employment," is one of 13 recipients of a $595,493 grant from the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation.
The Disability Network of the Lakeshore, meanwhile, will use the funds to "provide diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility training assessments at for-impact organizations throughout Northwest Ottawa County," the foundation says, per MLive.
Eat Well Do Good will use the funds to support employees with disabilities of the Lake Effect Trolley, a seasonal food truck in Grand Haven.
The other recipients: Groundswell Grand Haven Area Partnership ($24,446); West Michigan Environmental Action Council Education Foundation ($15,000); Environmental Sustainability in Northern Ottawa County ($15,000); Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital ($100,000); HydroBlox Plastics Recycling ($100,000); and the Solar Up Network project, which assembles people who are interested in solar into purchasing blocks to reduce their costs, and continue working on public messaging around clean energy and the cleanup of Harbor Island.
