Steelcase Foundation Grant
The Steelcase Foundation provided a $25,000 challenge grant towards this project, which was met on October 31, 2008.
The project is currently funded at its $125,000 budget set in 2005. Economy and material expense changes mean we may need additional funds to complete this project. Donations and/or in-kind contributions are always welcome. Please contact any officers or board members to donate time and/or materials. Donations may be mailed to the WMSIH offices at PO Box 273, Coopersville, MI 49404.

Coopersville Area Community Foundation
This project is made possible by multiple grants from the Coopersville Area Community Foundation Community Action Fund. The Coopersville Area Community Foundation is an affiliate of the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation.


An initial $500 grant provided funding for the purchase of the project railcar. A recent $1,000 grant will provide funding for the renovation and installation of a handicap lift and related equipment.

Additional funds have been pledged by Ed and Nancy Hanenberg who are directors of funds currently held in the Community Foundation as well.
