2025 Geographic Enrichment Grant Cycle

Opportunities for DONOR impact

We are pleased to share opportunities for co-funding in the Geographic Enrichment grant cycle. It is our pleasure to connect you with needs that may align with your philanthropic goals and values. These are requests from nonprofit partners working to support community needs on Beaver Island and in Boyne City, Charlevoix and East Jordan. This year, there are also a couple of Housing requests included and a few proposals that impact multiple communities.

To view the requests, simply click on the headings below. You will see a brief summary of each request, along with the request amount and any remaining needs. Be sure to click into each heading to see the full list of requests. We will be updating this page each time someone contributes to a request, so that you are always seeing the most current information.

To recommend a grant from your Donor Advised Fund, please email Ashley Cousens by October 23rd. Grant review committees met October 13th through 15th and made good use of the funds available. However, there are several requests that could not be fully funded and which still have remaining needs. Just because something wasn't funded by the committee, doesn't necessarily mean the committee didn't want to fund it. In several cases, there simply wasn't enough money to cover all of the needs that they valued. Reach out to Ashley anytime with questions at 231-536-2440.

The Fund Advisor Portal isn't used for this co-funding opportunity (though it may be helpful to check your grantmaking balance!) and Donor Advised grants are listed as anonymous when made through the grant cycles (like this one). If you would like your grant to be named (not anonymous), please specify that in your email, along with the organization, project, and amount you'd like to grant from your fund.

Thank you for your partnership in philanthropy! Your support is making a difference, right here at home.
