Michigan Community Innovation and Arts Support Grant in Michigan (USA)
GrantID: 75024
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This opportunity is for organizations doing work in Southeast Michigan, especially in places like Flint, Detroit, Dearborn, Ypsilanti, and Ann Arbor. The grant is intended for nonprofit groups or community-led organizations—not individuals or for-profit businesses. It aims to support efforts by Black, Brown, and immigrant-led or serving organizations.
The funding is intended for programs that might include leadership development (especially for youth or emerging leaders), digital access and entrepreneurship, social justice work, grassroots organizing, or movement building. The idea is to help local groups build power, voice, access, and equitable structures.
There are multiple application windows during the funding year. Applicants fill out a short form (just a few minutes) which includes basic info like mission, budget, what they want to do, and how their project fits the funder’s priorities. Grants under a certain amount may be approved more quickly; larger grants might involve more follow up (such as interviews or site visits).
Some of the benefits of this grant are that the application is relatively simple, the decision process is transparent, and the funder tries to reduce burdens on applicants. Small-scale requests have a good chance of being approved, fast; if a project is larger, extra vetting may happen.
The grant rounds happen periodically (typically three cycles in a year), with specific deadlines, and you can apply once per project per year. Projects that are outside the funder’s focus areas are unlikely to succeed.
If you are located in Michigan and working in the area of Other, 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.
