The Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) has announced the list of 1,373 nonprofit award winners of the MI Nonprofit Relief Fund, a lifeline for
Michigan's charitable organizations grappling with the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The fund, announced in February of 2023 and totaling $35 million, is dedicated to assisting small charitable nonprofit organizations.
"These relief funds are a lifeline for those most in need across the state who look to nonprofit organizations in their community when they have no one else to turn to,” said Kelley Kuhn, president and CEO of the MNA. “We are grateful for our partnership with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity who have helped to make these funds a possibility for Michigan nonprofits.”
The MI Nonprofit Relief Fund was established through the collaborative efforts of MNA and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO), as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) relief funds awarded to the State of Michigan.
The fund was designed to support Michigan-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofits with annual revenues of less than $1 million, demonstrating necessary expenditures and losses incurred after March 3, 2021, due to the pandemic.
“Michigan’s nonprofits make a real difference in people’s lives,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. “The Michigan Nonprofit Relief Fund will support nearly 1,400 nonprofits across the state so they can continue to provide their critical services. Let’s keep working together to remove barriers to economic opportunity in disproportionately impacted communities and ensure everyone can ‘make it’ in Michigan.”
Michigan-based nonprofits applied to the MI Nonprofit Relief Fund in the spring of 2023. 2,065 applications were reviewed by a panel of Michigan nonprofit leaders in the summer and a total of 1,373 awardees were selected so far, with additional nonprofits possibly being awarded yet this year.
The MI Nonprofit Relief Fund is awarding one-time grant funds ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to nonprofits in areas most affected by COVID-19, especially those underserved and underrepresented populations.
