Your Story Matters Here

At the Roscommon County Community Foundation, generosity isn’t abstract — it’s personal. Your identity, your values, and your sense of purpose shape the future of our community.

Our job is simple:
to help you see just how much your giving already says about who you are.

And we are deeply grateful for the story you choose to write with us.

Discover the Donor You Are

At RCCF, we know that every donor carries a story about who they are and the impact they want to make. Ask yourself which of these best describes you?

  • Protector: You step in when someone is vulnerable.
  • Builder of Opportunity: You lift others up and create new possibilities.
  • Healer: You bring hope, relief, and well-being to those in need.
  • Steward: You care deeply for your community and its future.
  • Advocate: You fight for fairness and justice.
  • Visionary: You imagine a better tomorrow and take action to create it.
  • Community Champion: You want Roscommon County to thrive for everyone.

When you recognize your giving identity, your support becomes more than a donation — it becomes a way to live out the values that define you.

Explore funds that match your giving intent and see how your generosity can align with the causes that reflect who you are.
