Congratulations to the 2018 Community Good Grant Cycle Recipients!

We were able to support programs that ranged from supporting First Responder’s to cultural awareness to homelessness prevention”. - Erica Heminger, Program & Donor Services Officer

Grants Overview

In general, grants are made out to projects that will benefit Branch County and/or Colon, Michigan. In making grants, the Community Foundation attempts to understand both the specific objectives of each grant request and the long-term benefits that the community will receive from the initiative. All eligible grant applications are carefully considered by review committees whose membership includes a broad representation of the community.

​Successful applications will be for projects which
  • Promote development or strengthening of community assets,
  • Will have a positive long-term impact on program participants and/or the community,
  • Lead to prevention of recurring need,
  • Promote cooperation among area organizations with related or supportive missions, and
  • Will be financially sustainable without continuing grant funding.

​An expression of interest or the provision of an application should not be considered a guarantee of funding. All grant requests go through a complete review process before any funding decision is made.
