Ideal Applicant
A Michigan-based nonprofit with an established local presence in health, education, or community services that is already known to the foundation or its network and fits the foundation's preference for preselected, relationship-driven support.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Michigan or demonstrates a clear Michigan impact.
- • Mission aligns with health care, Alzheimer’s research, education, community centers, or local faith-based programming.
- • Has an existing relationship or credible introduction to a trustee, staff, or past grantee.
- • Is an established nonprofit with evidence of local partnerships or measurable impact.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily Michigan-focused: about 94% of dollars stayed in the foundation's home state in the latest year, though small grants did appear in other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad recipient base (36 distinct grantees in 2024) including hospitals, universities, community groups and churches, indicating a wide variety of independent recipients despite some dollar concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (about 18 new recipients in 2024), but the foundation explicitly states it only funds preselected organizations and no public submission route was found, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to be able to enter the portfolio.
