The Northeast Michigan Youth Advisory Council (NEMYAC) is a group of about 50 students, and seven YAC advisors, from the counties of Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency, and Presque Isle. NEMYAC members learn about philanthropy and how to improve their communities through the grant-making process. Permanently endowed funds from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation allow the students to award approximately $50,000 each year to local non-profit organizations for youth-related programs and projects.
The winter grant application deadline is fast approaching!
If you and/or your organization are looking for grant money to fund youth programs in Alcona County, consider applying for up to $2,500 by January 15th, 2025.

Every three years, we conduct a Community Needs Assessment to understand what people in Northeast Michigan need most. This invaluable feedback shapes our programs, directs resources, and enhances our partnerships to serve the community better. At NEMCSA, we deeply value the voices of the communities we serve, and we are reaching out to ask for your assistance in a critical initiative.
This year, NEMSCA needs your help to hear from as many people as possible! The survey is quick and easy to complete, and as a thank-you, participants can enter a drawing to win a $50 gift card. This is not required and is optional for families and community members.
