At WDCC, we are passionate about supporting local non-profits that make a real difference in our community. The funds we raise stay right here, benefiting Muskegon County and surrounding areas — north to Hart in Oceana County, south to West Olive, and east to Coopersville and Conklin in Ottawa County. Our sponsors, donors, and event participants trust that every dollar given will directly impact our region, and we proudly honor that commitment.

We focus our giving on organizations that serve significant community needs, enhance the beauty of our local neighborhoods, preserve Muskegon’s rich history, nurture future community leaders, and foster cultural growth. Eligible recipients must be established, IRS-designated tax-exempt non-profits (502(c))(3), (4), (5), (6), or (19)), educational institutions, or government units operating for at least two years. We also look for groups that demonstrate strong fiscal responsibility and transparency — ensuring that at least 75% of annual expenses go directly to programs, not overhead.

By carefully selecting local partners, WDCC ensures that every effort and donation has a lasting, meaningful impact right where we live, work, and serve.
