The Cook Family Foundation, in partnership with the Shiawassee County Recycling Workgroup, has unveiled the next steps of creating a more sustainable future for residents, businesses, and non-profits, by opening up a new round of recycling-related grant opportunities. This program is designed to fund projects that advance sustainable material management and align with Michigan’s new, updated in 2022 Part 115 Law.

LionBear Ventures helped the YMCA of Shiawassee secure critical funding through the Michigan Health Endowment Fund’s Capacity Building Initiative. With a focus on addressing food access in rural communities, this grant empowers local leaders and deepens LBV’s mission to strengthen nonprofits through strategic, community-driven support.
