About ICCF

Making Ionia County a Better Place to Live, Learn, Work, and Play since 1995.

ICCF evaluates local needs and opportunities, and looks to fund projects in these areas:

  • art & culture
  • community development
  • education
  • environment
  • health
  • social needs

Projects should represent an innovative, start-up effort or be capital in nature. We emphasize promoting cooperation among agencies without duplicating services.

All projects are located in Ionia County, Michigan and yield substantial community benefits for the resources invested. It is important to serve a broad segment of the community, and we encourage additional and permanent funding or matching gifts from other donors.

It is the responsibility of the project developers to obtain the necessary additional funding to implement and maintain the project. We look for projects that are managed by nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status that strengthen or improve agency self-sufficiency or efficiency.
