Jack Wilcox. Making Plymouth even better.
|
Johnston H. (“Jack”) Wilcox established a Charitable Trust in 1980 for the benefit of his hometown, Plymouth, Michigan and the greater Plymouth Community. The Trust today has become The Wilcox Foundation, a non-profit corporation.
Jack wanted his assets to be invested wisely in the community: > To make community based grants with impact. > To connect grant making and community betterment. > To capitalize on co-funding and partnering opportunities. > To promote good works and projects that create lasting benefits or provide an ongoing return to the Plymouth community. Jack's wish was that his assets should play a meaningful part in making the Plymouth Community a better place. |
