Help Us Reach Every Corner of Our Community.
Building a Better Battle Creek - Together
At the Battle Creek Community Foundation, we believe in the power of us; neighbors helping neighbors, people coming together to make a lasting difference.
Since 1974, community members, local businesses, and organizations have joined forces to invest in what matters most: Battle Creek’s future. Through endowment funds, gifts grow over time; fueling grants, scholarships, and community projects that make our city stronger and more connected.
But we’re more than a foundation. We’re a gathering place for ideas, partnerships, and action. Together, we take on challenges, celebrate progress, and shape the future we all share.
Get involved. Discover ways to give, volunteer, or apply for support and be part of what makes Battle Creek thrive.
