Give to Local Causes in Barry County

Whether you want to make a one-time donation, support an existing fund, create a charitable fund, or plan a future gift, our team can help you choose an approach that reflects your goals.

Introducing Our New Fund Portal


We’ve moved fund search and giving to a new online portal, making it easier to find a fund by name or area of interest and give directly. The portal brings these tools together in one convenient place, so you can find the right giving opportunity and complete your donation more easily.


New to the portal? Check out our [Fund Portal User Guide (PDF)] for a quick walkthrough.
