About

The Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation (GRACF) strengthens the greater Itasca area by connecting charitable intentions with community needs. We mobilize generosity to improve quality of life and create lasting, positive change.

GRACF inspires individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to give back in ways that matter most to them. Through grants and scholarships, we support local nonprofits, launch new initiatives, strengthen programs, and enhance services for people of all ages. Gifts to the Foundation directly support organizations and projects that enrich life for our neighbors.

We meet national standards for operational quality, donor service, and accountability, ensuring all funds are managed with integrity and in accordance with best practices in community philanthropy.
