Lake Huron is one of the five Great Lakes of North America.

Hydrologically, it comprises the easterly portion of Lake Michigan–Huron, having the same surface elevation as its westerly counterpart, to which it is connected by the, Straits of Mackinac.

It is shared on the north and east by the Canadian province of Ontario and on the south and west by the state of Michigan in the United States.

The name of the lake is derived from early French explorers who named it for the Huron people inhabiting the region.

Lake St. Clair is a freshwater lake that lies between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of Michigan.

It was named after Clare of Assisi, on whose feast day it was navigated and christened by French Catholic explorers in 1679.

It is part of the Great Lakes system, and along with the St. Clair River and Detroit River, Lake St. Clair connects Lake Huron (to its north) with Lake Erie (to its south).

It has a total surface area of about and average depth of just; to ensure an uninterrupted waterway, government agencies on both sides of the lake have maintained a deep shipping channel through the shallow lake for more than a century.

Lake Erie is the fourth-largest lake (by surface area) of the five Great Lakes in North America, and the thirteenth-largest globally if measured in terms of surface area.

It is the southernmost, shallowest, and smallest by volume of the Great Lakes and therefore also has the shortest average water residence time.

At its deepest point Lake Erie is deep.

Lake Erie's northern shore is bounded by the Canadian province of Ontario, with the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York on its southern and easternmost shores and Michigan on the west.

These jurisdictions divide the surface area of the lake by water boundaries.

The lake was named by the Erie people, a Native Americans people who lived along its southern shore.

That Iroquoian tribe called it "Erige" ("cat") because of its unpredictable and sometimes violently dangerous nature.

It is a matter of conjecture whether the lake was named after the tribe, or if the tribe was called "Erie" because of its proximity to the lake.

Michigan is a state in the Great Lakes and Midwestern regions of the United States.

The name Michigan is the French form of the Ojibwa word mishigamaa, meaning "large water" or "large lake".

Michigan is the tenth most populous of the 50 United States, with the 11th most extensive total area (the largest state by total area east of the Mississippi River).

Its capital is Lansing, and its largest city is Detroit.

A nonprofit organization (also known as a non-business entity) is an organization whose purpose is something other than making a profit.

A nonprofit organization is often dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a particular point of view.

In economic terms, a nonprofit organization uses its surplus revenues to further achieve its purpose or mission, rather than distributing its surplus income to the organization's shareholders (or equivalents) as profit or dividends.

This is known as the non-distribution constraint.

The decision to adopt a nonprofit legal structure is one that will often have taxation implications, particularly where the nonprofit seeks income tax exemption, charitable status and so on.
