For Good Major Grant

The For Good Major Grant, provided by the Berrien Community Foundation, is designed to support 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, schools, religious organizations engaged in community work, and government organizations serving Berrien County, Michigan. This grant, offering up to $15,000, is available in two cycles per year, with application deadlines on April 1 and October 1. The program aims to fund projects in various areas, including Arts, Children, Community Improvement and Special Needs, Education, Environment, Health, Seniors, and Youth Leadership and Development. Organizations may receive one For Good Grant per calendar year and are required to take a year off after receiving the grant for three consecutive years. Applicants for the For Good Major Grant must submit a standard-length application and attach several required documents, including a project budget form, grant signature form, and for 501(c)(3) nonprofits, additional financial statements and tax documents. The project start date must be at least two months after the application deadline, meaning projects should begin no earlier than June 1 for the April cycle and October 1 for the August cycle.
