Berrien County offers jurors the option of donating their stipend to the Berrien County Foster Youth Activity Fund. This fund enables foster youth to participate in beneficial activities such as sports, camps, and music lessons. It gives them opportunities for personal development that they would not have otherwise. Your contribution may be tax-deductible! Contact your Jury Clerk for information on how to make a donation.

Berrien County Parks LogoBerrien County Parks

The Berrien County Parks Fund is an endowment fund that was established in 1988 to help the Berrien County Parks Commission take advantage of special opportunities that may arise in the future. Examples could include the acquisition of new park properties, the construction or improvement of facilities at existing County Parks, or the development of new programs. The fund is managed by the Berrien Community Foundation, so contributions may qualify donors for both a Federal Income Tax Deduction and a Michigan Community Foundation Income Tax Credit. For more information, contact the Parks Department at 269-983-7111, ext. 8435.
