Shiawassee nonprofits are essential — to the economy, to communities, and to individuals. Nonprofits exist to do things that government and business can’t, won’t, and shouldn’t. They fill the gaps that are left open. They exist for a fundamental purpose other than turning a profit and satisfying shareholders.

There is an obvious growth in misinformation about nonprofits (also called nongovernmental organizations or NGOs), and there has been a reduction in funding for the important work nonprofits do. More opportunities are needed to bring nonprofits together and create growth. Their presence exists to serve food to those that are hungry, provide artistic entertainment, connect seniors with important resources, help survivors of domestic violence, lead camps for children, and so much more.

As such, a collaborative of local nonprofit leaders has designated 2026 as “The Year of the Nonprofit” in Shiawassee County. Through a number of social media posts, articles, and public gatherings over the next 12 months, this collaborative wants to say what too often goes unsaid. Learn more about this initiative on our Year of the Nonprofit tab on our website: https://www.cookfamilyfoundation.org/year-of-the-nonprofit/.

We’re looking for fresh, fun ideas for our Connections program, and we’d love your input! 💛

Do you have suggestions for:
✨ New/fun activities we can do in-house?
✨ Fun, accessible places in the community to visit?
✨ Local businesses or organizations that might want to connect with our group?

Our Connections program supports adults with developmental disabilities through socialization, creativity, and meaningful experiences, and we’re always excited to try something new!

Drop your ideas in the comments, tag local businesses, or send us a message. We’d love to hear from you!
