The Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation has launched Quick Response Grants, a new monthly funding opportunity that provides flexible, responsive grants to organizations in Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, and Leelanau Counties and the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians.
“Many of our grant partners have shared with us that having access to rapid, flexible grants to meet smaller dollar needs would be an important way to support their missions,” said Steve Wade, Vice President for Community Impact at the Community Foundation. “We used their feedback to inform the creation of our new Quick Response Grants. We’re excited to offer these grants to organizations across the region as another funding resource they can tap into.”
The Community Foundation’s quick response grants are open to nonprofit, educational, governmental, and Tribal entities in the five-county region. The grants are designed to support smaller dollar needs, including program operational needs, direct services, capital, equipment, and more.
