The Michigan Gateway Community Foundation announced the recipients this week, WWMT reports.
Among the recipients are the Salvation Army, Buchanan Community Schools, the Buchanan District Library, tutoring programs, and the Cass County Backpack Spectacular.

The Buchanan Promise was a gift from the late Walter Schirmer Jr., who provided a $15,000 scholarship for every Buchanan student.
