Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize charity with Michigan ties (or a clear local connection) working in health, human services, cultural heritage, or international relief and seeking modest one-time grants.
Good Fit
- • Established nonprofit with programs serving Michigan communities
- • An existing relationship, referral, or prior funding connection to the foundation or its officers
- • Project requests that are modest in size (most grants observed under $5,000)
- • Work that aligns with previously funded areas (health, human services, cultural heritage, international relief)
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in one state; in 2024 roughly 88% of dollars went to Michigan and only two states received grants that year.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded eight distinct organizations in the latest year and supported multiple independent charities across three years, though dollars are highly concentrated in a few top grants.
New Applicants
Filings state grants are made only to preselected organizations; while some new recipients appeared in 2024, the majority of dollars and recipients are repeat grantees, so unsolicited new applicants are unlikely to gain entry.
