A Mission, Broad Yet Helpful

from The Colina Foundation, Southgate, Michigan

The Colina Foundation works to make a difference in the lives of children and their families. Its mission is intentionally broad, allowing each board member to bring his or her personal interests to the foundation, but having a mission helps the foundation to look for its impact in all the right places. The foundation further restricts its giving to the county of the founder and the counties of the second generation.

If we can fill in some of the little holes people are falling through,” says President John Colina, “to me, that’s impact.”
