The Service Club Alliance Grant (Kiwanis Club of Midland & Midland Kiwanis Foundation)

The Service Club Alliance Grant, supported by the Kiwanis Club of Midland and the Midland Kiwanis Foundation, aims to enhance the well-being of children in Midland County. This collaborative initiative streamlines grant applications for 501(c)(3) organizations, ensuring resources are effectively allocated to community projects. By leveraging combined financial and personal resources, the alliance funds playgrounds, scholarships, and educational materials, fostering a positive impact on local schools and preschools.

The Service Club Alliance is a collaborative partnership between Midland area service clubs to coordinate efforts and simplify grantmaking for community organizations. The Service Club Alliance streamlines the grant process by using a common application for applicants who provide essential support to Midland County residents.
When an organization submits an application, it is automatically shared with all participating service clubs for review and consideration. This collective approach was established collaboratively by the participating clubs to ensure that community resources are allocated in the most effective and impactful way possible.
The Midland Area Community Foundation is not responsible for the grantmaking decisions made by the organizations below. We serve solely as the convenor of this alliance.
Projects are identified during annual interviews and visits with local schools and community centers and from applications made through the club's website. Funds are controlled by the club's committees and by the Midland Kiwanis Foundation Board, which oversees the management of the club's investment income and provides most of the finances for the club's projects.
