Ideal Applicant
A U.S.-based tax-exempt organization working in education, libraries, human services, or community benefit with demonstrable program impact; local ties to La‑Z‑Boy facilities or to the Monroe, MI region are helpful but out-of-state applicants in supported program areas have also been funded.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on education, libraries, or human services.
- • Ability to submit a concise initial request by letter or via the online portal.
- • Organizational capacity matching typical grant sizes (many awards in the $1K–$50K range, with some larger grants).
- • Established nonprofit status and readiness for a possible follow-up interview.
Geography
Giving is multi-state across nine states in the latest year, though grants are concentrated with about 40% of dollars staying in the foundation's home state (Michigan).
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 120 distinct recipients spanning education, human services, public benefit and health; many independent organizations were supported rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness exists: published online application links and stated letter-approach instructions, and roughly 30% of 2024 recipients were newly funded, indicating new entrants can and do appear on the roster.
