Committee Grantmaking
Grantmaking committees are comprised of community stakeholders – volunteers in our community whose personal passion align with the focus area. Grantmaking committees have specific stated priorities and recommend grants from specific funds developed and reserved for that exclusive purpose. The fall of 2020 grant round will focus on committee grants. The deadline is September 3 for the Application of Intent and September 17 for complete applications. A grantee workshop will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, August 4 at 3PM. Contact grants@muskegonfoundation.org to register. Click here for more details and click here to apply.
Watch Muskegon Vote Mini-Grants
The Community Foundation invites all nonprofits serving Muskegon County to apply for “Watch Muskegon Vote” mini-grants. We will award, on a first-come, first-served basis, up to 15 grants to projects that encourage voter registration, absentee applications, educate voters on the voting process, and get out the vote. Grants up to $200 will be awarded for projects that encourage voter registration, absentee applications, educate voters on the voting process, and get out the vote. Submitted programs/projects must engage Muskegon County citizens in voting and must be nonpartisan. Grant dollars can be used for any reasonable costs related to this work. Click here to apply.
