Priorities
The SACF Board has identified several grantmaking priority areas. While applications for any type of program or project (not including religious programs) through an eligible nonprofit will be considered for funding, preference may be given to programs that fall within the following areas:
- Substance abuse (education and assistance)
- Mental health and counseling
- Health/wellness/access to healthcare
- Early childhood nurturing and development
- Post-secondary preparation (i.e. skilled trades programs, financial education, workforce development)
- Environmental stewardship
- Arts and music programs in community and schools
- Your application will be considered for funding regardless of whether or not it fits into the above categories.
- A Grant Screening Committee comprised of members from the SACF service area makes all allocation recommendations. No staff member votes on decisions regarding fund allocations.
- All recommendations for allocations must be approved by vote of the Board of Trustees at their quarterly meeting following the application deadline.
Funding Information
Applicants may submit requests up to a maximum of $2,000 per application cycle unless otherwise indicated.
Eligibility Criteria
- Your organization must provide benefits to those within the geographic area of Cheboygan County and Mackinaw City.
