Ideal Applicant
Small or mid-sized charities working in food security, health/children’s services, human services or community-level programs, especially Michigan-based groups or national child/health charities that can accept modest general operating donations.
Good Fit
- • Work in food banks, hunger relief, youth/children’s health, or human services.
- • Capacity to absorb modest, unrestricted grants (single-digit-hundreds amounts).
- • A Michigan presence or clear local connection, or being a recognizable national child/health charity.
- • Existing relationship or visibility to the foundation’s leadership or intermediary networks.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached eight states (including DC) and while Michigan received the largest share (about 40%), the foundation funds organizations across multiple states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year included 20 distinct recipients spanning local Michigan nonprofits and national charities (e.g., UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders), and filings show no evidence of affiliated or internally controlled grantees.
New Applicants
Behaviorally the foundation funded many new grantees in 2024 (all 20 were new and no returning grantees were observed), which suggests turnover; however the foundation states it only funds preselected recipients and no public application path or contact route is visible, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to have a straightforward entry.
