In the spring and fall of each year, the community foundation's Board Trustees award millions of grant dollars to nonprofit organizations across Newaygo County.  In 2012, the community foundation awarded over 9.1 million in grants, including supporting organizations, geographic components, and donor-advised funds.

The community foundation serves only Newaygo County, so applying agencies must be located in, or directly serve, people of Newaygo County. For those seeking grants for programs in our affiliated counties of Lake, Mecosta, or Osceola, please go to the partners tab, geographic affiliates link.

A user-friendly grant application form and competitive grant guidelines are available under the grant forms tab to the left.
