TART Trails has been selected as Hagerty's 2015 Nonprofit Partner, the
company announced at an annual celebration last night. TART will receive
a financial gift of $25,000 as well as employee service and pro bono
consulting to boost the organization's capacity.
"TART shares in our commitment to economic development," says McKeel
Hagerty, president and CEO. “We share a common vision to provide
healthy, accessible trail systems to benefit residents in the Grand
Traverse region with a concentration on driving infrastructure that will
help our increasingly linked communities grow. Our employees anticipate
being able to work side-by-side with the organization’s leadership in
2015 to leverage additional resources and, together, positively impact
our community.”
TART participated in a competitive review process for the partnership.
It is the second year of Hagerty's Annual Nonprofit Partner program.
The selection of its nonprofit partner culminates a year of giving by
Hagerty, which has generated more than 10,000 hours of service to
communities in which the company operates. Year-end giving included the
adoption of 97 elementary-aged students in the Traverse City Area Public
Schools for Christmas.
Hagerty also held donation drives for various
nonprofits at its Traverse City headquarters and at its offices in
Denver, Canada and the United Kingdom.
