Summary
This grant program is intended to support nonprofit organizations and community groups that deliver public service programs. The aim is to improve quality of life in low‑ and moderate‑income neighborhoods through services in areas such as education, health, recreation, senior services, and public safety. The funding comes from a community development block grant (CDBG) structure, and it is administered by a city department focused on housing and revitalization.
Eligible applicants must be nonprofit organizations, community organizations, or similar groups that are legally recognized. Projects must benefit particularly those who are low to moderate income. The use of funds must align with allowable public service activities (for example, academic support, health education, after‑school services, violence prevention, or senior wellness programs). The program does not generally support for‑profit businesses.
In recent years, the program has awarded millions of dollars annually to multiple organizations. For example, in a recent cycle, about $2.7 million was distributed across dozens of organizations. The amounts awarded to individual organizations vary depending on the scope and scale of their proposals. Some grantees have received mid‑to upper five‑digit awards (e.g. $50,000‑$70,000 range) depending on program needs.
The application period typically opens in the fall (late September) and remains open for about a month. Applicants are expected to submit complete proposals, including project descriptions, budgets, and performance metrics. After review and ranking by city staff and a review panel, the awards are recommended to the city council for approval. Funding recipients will be monitored and required to report on outcomes and compliance.
This fund offers an opportunity for nonprofit groups to secure programmatic support for initiatives that deepen service delivery in neighborhoods in need.
If you are located in Michigan and working in the area of Quality of Life, 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.
