Summary

This grant program is designed to support nonprofit organizations and community groups serving the region around Cheboygan County and Mackinaw City, Michigan. The funding is intended for future-oriented projects that address local needs and strengthen community well-being. Projects that promote youth engagement, education, community vitality, or increase access to important local services are encouraged.


Eligible applicants are typically nonprofits (e.g., 501(c)(3) organizations), schools, and governmental or tribal entities, serving that specific geographic region. Individuals and projects outside the service area generally are not eligible. The funds can be used for initiatives such as new program launches, expansion of existing community services, youth-led activities, or collaborative efforts among local stakeholders.


Benefits of the grant include access to funding to fuel meaningful local impact, increased visibility within the community, and the chance to align your work with regional priorities. While the exact award amounts vary depending on the project size and scope, smaller youth-led or pilot projects are eligible alongside larger community initiatives. The review cycles are time-bound—with known deadlines (for example a late spring-type deadline for general projects and an earlier deadline for youth-based projects). Awarding happens once per cycle.


In summary, this grant opportunity is a solid fit for nonprofits in northern Michigan that aim to tackle local challenges, engage residents (especially youth), and build stronger, more resilient communities through new or enhanced programming. If your organization serves the Cheboygan/Mackinaw region and you’re working on an initiative that promises real community benefit, this could be a useful funding route.
