Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid sized charities or community organizations with demonstrated mission alignment (parks/conservation, education, health, faith-based, food assistance) and either a Michigan connection or a networked introduction to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Project or program budgets matching one-time awards in the $1k–$35k range.
- • Clear alignment with past grant purposes such as public parks, education, health, land conservation, food assistance, or faith-based services.
- • A geographic tie to Michigan or a demonstrable connection to the foundation’s network.
- • An existing relationship or credible local introduction to a named officer or board member.
Geography
Grants in the observed year reached recipients in six different states (including NY, NJ, FL, DC and OH), showing a multi-state footprint, though a majority of dollars were concentrated in Michigan (about 62%).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 12 distinct recipients across a wide range of purposes (parks, education, health, faith-based work, conservation, food assistance and more), indicating broad mission diversity among grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is unavailable because only one year is observed, but the foundation explicitly declares it funds only preselected applicants; that invitation-only policy makes entry for unfamiliar organizations unlikely in practice.
