Capital Region Community Foundation

NontraditionalParticipatory grantmaking

A council of high school students runs its own triennial youth needs assessment, sets the funding priorities from it, and reviews applications from programs serving teens in Michigan's tri-county capital region.

Indicative award

Timing
Annual cycleNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.The 2026 application period was closed at the time of the fetch. That cycle ran youth-led review with virtual interviews in April 2026 and notification in early May 2026, implying an application close earlier in the year, but no deadline month is published.
Who can apply

Eligibility
Programs must mainly benefit teens in the tri-county capital region of Michigan. The page does not publish an organizational-status restriction or address university eligibility; a program officer is named as the contact for funding parameters, so confirm applicant type before building a proposal around it.
