• Greenville Area Community Foundation (insidephilanthropy.com) — Local nonprofits, schools, and public agencies in and around Greenville have multiple chances this year to secure grants from the Greenville Area Community Foundation, which prioritizes projects serving greater Greenville and Montcalm County. The foundation runs several specialized grant cycles for education, youth, health, trails, and community development, many now starting with a brief letter of inquiry and offering staff support before deadlines. 
• No body contact advisory issued as E.coli detected in Greenville's Wabasis Lake (wwmt.com) — If you’re heading to Wabasis Lake in Greenville, health officials are warning everyone to stay out of the water after tests found E.coli levels above Michigan’s safety standard. Swimming, wading, and any body contact are discouraged until new samples show the lake is safe again.
• Cumulus Undergoing More Downsizing (ramp247.com) — A longtime radio programmer who grew up in Greenville is among several Cumulus staffers recently let go in a nationwide restructuring. His four-decade career included overseeing a five-station Delta Radio group in Greenville until July 2023, and the report lists contact details for him and other affected programmers now seeking new opportunities.
