Summary
Offers multiple grant programs for nonprofit and charitable organizations, schools, and institutions. These grants are intended to support projects that align with broad focus areas such as education, community and economic development, environmental health, equity, and social inclusion.
One of the grant streams is offering up to $3,000 per year to grassroots or small local groups. These grants are designed for organizations with modest budgets (under $100,000 annually) and aim to reduce barriers for projects that bring benefit to the broader community. The typical award is often in the range of a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
Another track is meant to support systemic change in key areas. Solicits proposals that address educational equity, workforce development, affordable housing, capacity building, and community trust. These grants are likely larger in scale, with deadlines and a letter of intent process.
Also administers grants for funds focused on environment, health, youth, or place-based local grants. The amount available varies annually (for example, $15,000 for environmental grants, or more for food systems or open space grants).
Other funding streams include support for teachers (to support educational projects in classrooms), housing initiatives, faith based partner grants, and leadership and development grants. These are selective and tied to specific project types or areas of county need.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations (with tax‑exempt status), schools, religious organizations (for community service work), or governmental units. Individuals are not eligible through these competitive grants. Projects supported can include program costs, capacity building, educational materials, outreach efforts, or facility improvements (when aligned with grant goals).
Grants are competitive, with review committees making recommendations. There are scheduled cycles and deadlines, and each grant opportunity includes its own guidelines and application process. Supports groups to seeking funding for community initiatives that advance long‑term impact and meet identified priorities.
If you are located in Michigan and working in the area of Housing, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
