C K Eddy Family Memorial Fund
The organization is a private foundation focused on supporting various charitable causes, primarily through general operating grants. Its mission appears to center on enhancing community services, arts and culture, and human services, as evidenced by its funding to local organizations such as the Saginaw Eddy Concert Band and the United Way. The foundation serves a diverse range of recipients, including community service clubs, food banks, and youth development organizations. While it primarily supports initiatives within Saginaw County, it also extends its funding to organizations outside of Michigan, reflecting a broader commitment to community welfare.

Ideal Applicant
A community nonprofit based in Saginaw County (or the broader Michigan area) seeking general operating support, with an established track record and local credibility.
Good Fit
- • Located in Saginaw County or clearly serving the Saginaw community.
- • Requesting general operating or program support rather than small micro-grants.
- • Existing local relationships or referrals (community foundation, United Way, local service groups).
- • Capacity to receive six-figure or mid-size grants and to report on general operating impact.
- • Alignment with arts, human services, food security, or youth development priorities visible in past grants.
Geography
Giving is regionally concentrated: about two-thirds of 2024 dollars went to Michigan and many grants target Saginaw-area organizations, but grants also reached recipients in Virginia and Pennsylvania across the observed years.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows nine distinct independent recipients including arts, community foundations, and human services; however, the top five grants captured most dollars (92% in 2024), indicating financial concentration despite a moderate number of grantees.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows new entrants in 2024 (five new recipients) and a named application contact plus available guidelines and a letter/phone submission route, which together suggest unfamiliar local applicants can plausibly access funding; the foundation still appears to prioritize local Saginaw-area organizations.
