Summary
Grant opportunities are available to support charitable efforts in a small community located in the Midwest. This funding is designed to help enhance the overall quality of life for residents in the surrounding area by investing in meaningful projects and programs that meet local needs. Grants are offered to nonprofit organizations that serve a defined region in southern Michigan, with a particular focus on activities that benefit people in and around smaller towns and rural communities.
Funding is available in two general categories. Smaller requests of up to $500 are considered on a rolling basis and are often used for short-term or pilot projects. Larger requests starting at over $500 are accepted during specific application cycles throughout the year, and these grants typically support more developed initiatives or long-term investments in community services. There is no official upper limit listed, but awards can range into the thousands depending on the project’s scope and available resources.
Eligible applicants must be nonprofit organizations with a valid tax-exempt status. While businesses and individuals are not eligible to apply directly, the grant does encourage projects that collaborate with a wide range of local partners and that focus on traditionally underserved populations. Priority is given to programs that serve youth, improve health and education, promote cultural engagement, support human services, or enhance public spaces and recreation.
These grants are a great opportunity for local nonprofits looking to make a positive impact in their communities. Whether it’s a youth mentoring program, a community garden, or efforts to increase access to the arts or health services, the funding is meant to support practical and meaningful solutions. Applicants are encouraged to focus on ideas that are rooted in local need and have the potential to bring lasting value to the region.
If you are located in Michigan and working in the area of Youth/Out-of-School Youth, 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.
