Ideal Applicant
Established arts, education, or community organizations—especially Michigan-based institutions—seeking operating support or capital/campaign funding and able to demonstrate organizational track record and readiness for mid-to-large gifts.
Good Fit
- • Strong program or capital campaign tied to arts, education, or community development
- • A clear Michigan presence or regional impact in West Michigan
- • Organizational track record and audited finances for mid-size to large grants
- • Capacity to manage multi-year or capital awards
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Michigan, with about 93% of dollars going in-state in 2024 despite occasional grants to other states; the active footprint is therefore largely local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 71 distinct recipients across arts, education and community purposes, with a mix of small and very large grants and 26 new grantees observed in 2024, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a public website and an online grant portal, plus 26 new recipients in 2024 (about 37% of recipients that year); multi-year data show ongoing turnover, making it plausible that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio.
