$35 Million Relief Fund Application Goes Live to Assist Small Michigan Nonprofits
March 30, 2023
MI Nonprofit Relief Fund deadline to apply is May 5, 2023
LANSING, Mich., March 22, 2023 – Committed to getting funds into the hands of Michigan small charitable nonprofit organizations that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) today announced the $35 million MI Nonprofit Relief Fund application is now live at MINonprofitRelief.org.
The application phase will close on May 5, 2023. The website also includes resources and frequently asked questions. For additional questions, nonprofits can email relieffund@mnaonline.org. Nonprofits are required to complete the application to be considered, regardless of whether they previously filled out the “intent to apply” form. Nonprofits do not have to be members of MNA to apply for/receive grant funding.
“We received an overwhelmingly positive response during the ‘intent to apply’ phase from nonprofits expressing interest in the MI Nonprofit Relief Fund,” said MNA President and CEO Kelley Kuhn. “We encourage nonprofits – especially those from underrepresented, underserved and rural areas – to apply. Michigan’s nonprofits have given so much to their communities every day, and this fund helps give back to those who give.”
