What drives our work?
Midland’s Community Success Panel developed four major focus areas for our community. The panel believed these areas would help Midland achieve its vision statement of
“Midland: an inclusive community. Together. Forward. Bold. An exceptional place where everyone thrives.”
The Community Foundation, in turn, aligned with these focus areas. We believe that to work towards a more vibrant, thriving community, our efforts should focus on these broad areas.
Building our livelihood means focusing on economic development and infrastructure.
Developing our talent means focusing on education and the development and engagement of our youth.
Caring for our people means focusing on health, human services, poverty, housing, and public safety.
Enriching our community means focusing on arts, culture, entertainment, recreation, diversity, and theenvironment.
We believe that moving forward together with our donors and the community, we can help to transform our community as we focus on these areas. Together, we’re enriching and improving our quality of life.
