Eligibility Criteria
- Impact Grants are reserved for 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations and other eligible entities that predominantly benefit residents of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, Michigan.
- Impact Projects must meet at least one of the following Impact Criteria:
- Significantly increase the long-term impact of an organization or program, not provide for ongoing operations (routine expenses such as ongoing programming, occupancy, administration, etc.) For example, Impact Grants will not purchase food for a pantry; however, they might purchase equipment that help a pantry stock healthier options to impact the health of their clients.
- Significantly increase an organization’s ability to reach under-served populations, rather than simply serve more people. For example, Impact Grants are not designed to increase the number of people utilizing an existing program, but rather to help expand a successful program to have greater impact to a new, high-need population. For example, a successful drug rehab program for men could be duplicated to serve women.
- Enable two or more nonprofits to work collaboratively to create transformative and sustainable community change. They welcome applications where two or more organizations are collaborating to implement a solution to a critical community issue.
