Applicants must attach a copy of their US Treasury (IRS) determination letter in order for MI Community Fund to insure we issue grants within the meaning and limitation of Section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended.
Ineligible
Grants are not made for religious purposes, political purposes or to projects that discriminate against any protected class as defined in RCW 49.60.180.
Pre-Application Information
Applications for grants should be submitted by February 15th, 2023 to be considered for April award distributions.
The Grants Committee and the Board of Directors meet annually in March to consider grant applications, so timely applications are appreciated. Late applications received no later than March 1st will likely still be considered for April funding. Applications received after March 1st will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and may require special Board approval for funding which often lengthens the review/approval/funding process considerably.
Grants from MICF may be used to match or supplement other grants. MICF will consider supplemental funding to established organizations for special projects not funded by other sources. Initial funding assistance for new organizations and projects will also be considered.
