501(c)(3) nonprofits proposing services in Washtenaw County, Michigan. In addition, our affiliate, the Plymouth Community Foundation, will consider nonprofit proposals for the greater Plymouth, Michigan area.

 

You may submit one unique application per grant program (including Coordinated Funding). For example, you may request support from the Youth Council for an initiative, and submit a separate application to the Bach Fund as long as it's for a different initiative. If you wish to submit more than one application, please contact Neel Hajra to discuss the appropriate approach.

 

Do you make out-of-cycle grants?
In rare cases AAACF will consider out-of-cycle grants for time-sensitive opportunities that have potential for major community impact. Please contact Neel Hajra if you wish to explore this possibility.

Make sure you carefully review this website, and then email us through one of the Grant Program Pages to discuss your proposal. We welcome the conversation!

 

We will email every applicant with our decision within 6-8 weeks of the proposal deadline.

 

No, we consider applications that benefit citizens in the greater Ypsilanti area (including Willow Run and Ypsilanti Township) and the greater Plymouth area (including Plymouth Township and parts of Northville, Salem, and Superior Townships).

Coordinated Funding is a collaboration the Office of Community Development (representing the City of Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, and Washtenaw Urban County), the United Way of Washtenaw County, and the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation. To learn more, visit the Coordinated Funding website.

Your agency may submit one application for itself and one as the lead applicant for a collaborative. Your agency may be named as a collaborative partner in unlimited additional applications by other agencies.

 

Although it is not required, the committee will consider your level of participation in at least one of the groups, as well as the extent to which your proposal supports the goals of at least one of the groups.

 

A joint committee of four AAACF volunteers and four United Way volunteers will review grant applications.

 

Grants will be announced by the end of November. Every applicant will receive an email with the final decision for their agency.

 

Grant checks will be distributed in December 2011, and we request final reports by September 15, 2012 (in order to evaluate the impact of the grants before the next capacity-building grant cycle). Applicants who would like to propose a longer grant period should contact Neel Hajra to discuss an appropriate timeline.
