Applicants should use the SmartSimple online inquiry and follow the foundation's published deadlines tied to quarterly board meetings, emphasize clear local impact in Kent/Emmet/Charlevoix counties (or statewide work that benefits those areas), align proposals with one of the four pillars, and identify whether the request is operating, capacity-building, or capital so it fits observed funding patterns. Contacting program officers listed on the site before submission can help clarify fit for larger or capital requests.
