Ideal Applicant
A Michigan-based college, university, or nonprofit running scholarship programs or direct student support for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Good Fit
- • Programs that award student scholarships, especially for blind or visually impaired students.
- • Organizational presence or operations in Michigan.
- • Established relationship or awareness within Michigan blindness/visual-impairment networks.
- • Grant requests that are modest in size and clearly tied to scholarship disbursement or student support.
Geography
All observed grants across the latest years were made within Michigan (100% in-state), indicating a state-level geographic focus rather than a national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a very small number of recipients each year (3 recipients in 2023, 2 in 2024) and the grants are tightly focused on student scholarships, so the observed institutional and mission variety is limited.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new organizations were funded in each observed year (all recipients listed in 2023 and 2024 are recorded as new), which suggests new entrants have been supported; however, the foundation's materials also state grants are to preselected recipients and no formal open application pathway is evident, so openness to unfamiliar applicants is uncertain.
