Grant Description

Grants of up to $1,000 to Michigan nonprofit organizations, school districts, IHEs, government entities, and churches in eligible locations for projects that benefit local residents. Applicants requesting seed money for dynamic, new projects and that show funding from additional sources are given stronger consideration. Eligible applicants must serve residents within the geographic area of Cheboygan County and Mackinaw City.

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 portion of funds awarded during this grant cycle is set aside specifically for programs addressing health for youth under the age of 18 and senior citizens.
