Ideal Applicant
A Michigan-based school or youth-education nonprofit that provides student scholarships or runs youth athletics/education programs and can be introduced or recommended by a public charity.
Good Fit
- • Located in Michigan (in-state) and serving youth education or scholarships.
- • Established high schools or public charities with a record of scholarship programs.
- • Existing relationship, prior funding history, or referral from a public charity.
- • Capacity to receive a formal letter of support from a public charity.
Geography
Observed giving across the two available years was entirely within Michigan, with all grants and grant dollars directed to in-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
Each year shows seven distinct recipients (seven grants), but six of the 2023 grantees were repeats from 2022, indicating a modest but stable set of beneficiaries rather than a very large open portfolio.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is limited: the filings show only one new recipient in 2023 and the foundation's stated process indicates grants are to preselected applicants via a required letter from public charities, so unfamiliar applicants appear unlikely to gain entry without referral.
