From staff reports
This December, Cherry Republic has launched its ninth annual 31 Days of Giving campaign, the Glen Arbor company’s oldest charitable giving initiative. Throughout the month, Cherry Republic will announce gifts totaling $300,000 to Michigan organizations protecting our water, climate, and quality of life.
December 1
$30,000 to the Michigan League of Conservation Voters – Best Practices Training & Implementation
Cherry Republic starts a December of giving with a new gift that it hopes pays big returns for the environmental community in Michigan. It is $30,000 for best practices training for the Michigan League of Conservation Voters. Cherry Republic expects a year or two of training for MLCV’s 35 staff in the leading operational methods practices will lead to a more effective, satisfied, and happier nonprofit-centered staff. Fighting for the Great Lakes is really challenging work, so this will give staff the long term tools to thrive.
December 2
$5,000 to The National Wildlife Federation – Great Lakes Chapter
Bob Sutherland has gotten to know this top-notch organization due to Cherry Republic’s involvement in shutting down the Line 5 Pipeline that runs under the Straits of Mackinac. If something involves protecting our valuable freshwater, the National Wildlife Foundation’s Great Lakes Regional Center is there time and time again.
