Hagerty is accepting requests for proposals from area organizations interested in becoming Hagerty’s Annual Nonprofit Partner for 2017. In addition to a financial investment of $25,000, Hagerty will work with the selected nonprofit to plan a mutually determined year-long service program. Qualified organizations will have a strong presence and an office in the five-county Grand Traverse region (Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska and Leelanau counties) and be a registered 501(c)(3) organization. 

Applications will be accepted via email through 5 p.m. Oct. 14. A committee from Hagerty, utilizing the expertise and services of the Northsky Nonprofit Network, will review applications and conduct site visits to the finalists during the first week of November. The 2017 Annual Nonprofit Partner will be announced in December.

Previous Annual Nonprofit Partners include Michael’s Place, TART Trails and The Father Fred Foundation.
