C3F: Geographic Enrichment Grant Cycle

The C3F: Geographic Enrichment Grant Cycle aims to enhance the quality of life in Charlevoix County by providing funding opportunities for nonprofit projects in communities like Beaver Island, Boyne City, Charlevoix, and East Jordan. This initiative encourages collaboration and innovative approaches to meet community needs while ensuring that grant proposals deliver tangible benefits to each affected area. The foundation invites diverse applicants to contribute to impactful local projects.

Each year, the Community Foundation makes grants that support a wide variety of organizations, schools, and municipalities in their work.
The purpose of the Geographic Enrichment Cycle is to offer all eligible nonprofit partners the opportunity to apply for project and program support on Beaver Island, in Boyne City, Charlevoix, and/or East Jordan. Individuals, couples, families, and businesses who advise funds at the Community Foundation (donor advisors) may choose to make grants through the cycle as well.
What kinds of projects or programs are most likely to receive grant funding?
Organizations impacting more than one of the communities may be eligible to apply if the following conditions are met: the work will result in a deliverable to each community impacted, and the proposal indicates the estimated percentage of the work that will take place in each community impacted.
