Community Impact Program & Operational Support Grants

The Jackson Community Foundations Grant Committee prioritizes funding for programs, services, and systems change initiatives that provide opportunities for learning, action, and advocacy aimed at advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in Jackson County.  This grant is funded by the Community Needs Endowment Fund along with a $20,000 grant from the Consumers Energy Foundation. Consumers Energy Foundation shares in our commitment to programming that advances Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in our community.

In this grant round, we are accepting program and operating grant applications.  Though they share the same deadline, each grant type has a separate application and budget form.  Applicants can only submit one application in this grant round.

Beginning in 2022, the JCF Grant Committee is pleased to operate under our new “Community Needs Endowment Fund Grantmaking Priority, Aims and Guidelines.”  Before applying, we strongly encourage all applicants to read through this document which can be found below in “Grant Information and Resources.”
