About GREATER LOWELL CHAMBER FOUNDATION
The Greater Lowell Chamber Foundation (EIN 30-0149311) is the 501(c)(3) philanthropic arm of the Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce in Lowell, Michigan. It manages funds and community programs that support local economic development, cultural events, and workforce training for the Greater Lowell area.
In the last 2–3 years the Foundation has been active in running and supporting community-facing programs — including the Ivan K. Blough training and scholarship programs, the Sizzlin’ Summer Concert Series, the Riverwalk Festival (and associated 5K, marketplace and kayak races), and community marketing initiatives such as Lowell Bucks and the farmers market. The EIN and recent Form 990 filings for FY 2024 were reviewed and confirmed as belonging to this operating, donor-facing organization; recent activity and updated board/staff listings show the foundation remains active in 2024–2026.
Notable achievements
Ivan K. Blough Scholarship Endowment
Established a perpetual scholarship and training fund (managed in partnership with a larger community foundation) that provides vocational scholarships for Greater Lowell students and training grants for Chamber-member employees.
Sustained Community Event Support
Provides programmatic and fundraising support for long-running community events — notably the Riverwalk Festival (now multi-decade), Sizzlin’ Summer Concert Series, Riverwalk 5K and Riverwalk Marketplace — which draw local vendors, nonprofits, and residents.
Financial Stability and Donor Support
Maintained positive net assets and consistent donor contribution levels in recent filings (most recent fiscal-year activity shows community contributions as the primary revenue source and assets in the mid-six-figure range), enabling continued grantmaking and program delivery.
