About the Community Benefit Fund
Community-driven programs to benefit everyone
The Royal Oak Civic Foundation is comprised of various city programs that enhance, assist, educate and protect our city and those who live and visit here.
When city officials and community members work together, it is a win-win where everybody thrives!
The community benefit fund collects monetary donations that are used to support the city programs, like the animal shelter, senior center, commission for the arts, nature society, public safety and more.
The Community Benefit Fund allows the Royal Oak Civic Foundation flexibility to give to the city’s greatest needs
Everyone in Royal Oak benefits from these programs, thus, funding and donations are key to keeping them running properly to keep our community members healthy, safe and engaged. More grants and donations mean more books, trees, help for area seniors, local public art and so much more.
Sometimes, specific organizations receive funds while other times, people wish to donate to the general fund and allow our team to disburse funds where most needed.
Either way, it is our job to track, oversee and ensure that each division runs as smoothly as possible and receives the funds it may need to continue to offer its services.
From the animal shelter to the senior center to the nature society and much more, our work is devoted to offering our community the services and resources it needs to thrive.
The foundation receives no public funds – all revenue is derived from contributions from other foundations, corporations and individuals.
