The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) provided $15 million in funding, through the MI Impact Grant program, to support the critical work of ten nonprofits to provide meaningful and sustained relief in the communities they serve and provide a lasting impact.
LEO is accepting applications for innovative programs that provide, or expand, programming with the intent of lifting people out of poverty and above the ALICE (Asset Limited Income Constrained, Employed) threshold, especially as it pertains to the effects COVID-19 had on this population.
Impact Grant applicants must meet the following criteria to be eligible:
Applications will be accepted until June 26, at noon. It is highly recommended that applicants review the Request for Proposals prior to completing the application.
The Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) launched the $35 million MI Nonprofit Relief Fund to assist Michigan’s nonprofits who are struggling with the negative impacts and hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic so they can continue to serve their hard-hit communities.
The relief fund, designed for small nonprofits, is part of a two-part grant program. An additional $15 million in grants will be available to larger nonprofits later this year.
To be eligible for this funding, organizations must be a Michigan-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit or a fiscally sponsored project by a 501(c)(3) and able to demonstrate necessary expenditures and/or losses due to the COVID-19 public health emergency incurred after March 3, 2021. MNA membership is not required to apply. Nonprofits must have been in operation prior to January 1, 2019, and be compliant with state and federal regulatory bodies, including the IRS, Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), and the Michigan Attorney General. Nonprofits can learn more at MiNonprofitRelief.org.
