Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit focused on immigrant services or social justice (especially with Michigan ties), seeking grants in the roughly $3k–$15k range and able to submit a concise written request or be introduced.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving immigrant communities or social justice causes, particularly in Michigan.
- • Project budgets aligned with recent grant sizes (several thousand to mid-five-figures).
- • A local presence or credible introduction to foundation leadership.
- • Capacity to produce a short, written proposal for mailed submission.
Geography
The latest year shows grants to organizations in four states, but a majority share (about 55%) of dollars stayed in Michigan, indicating a regional focus with some out-of-state giving.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded six distinct recipients in 2023 (nine in 2022) with four repeat grantees across the two years, which indicates a moderately diverse set of independent grantees for a micro private foundation despite dollar concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows two new recipients in 2023, but the foundation's stated practice of funding only preselected applicants and high dollar concentration suggest unfamiliar applicants face meaningful barriers; observed new entrants mean openness is not clearly closed.
