Receiving funds were the East Lansing’s Summer Solstice Jazz Festival, the Lansing Art Gallery & Education Center’s ArtPath, and the Kiwanis Club of East Lansing’s book vending machine project.
“The MSUFCU Desk Drawer Foundation’s vision is of vibrant communities where every act of giving creates a profound impact, fostering a culture of generosity and empowerment,” said Executive Director Rebecca Surian. “These grants are intended to support these organizations as they work to improve the quality of life in their communities through the arts and youth empowerment.”
