Impact100 Oakland County Grant Program 2026

The Impact100 Oakland County Grant Program 2026 is now accepting applications from eligible organizations seeking funding for impactful projects. This grant opportunity aims to support initiatives that serve residents of Oakland County, Michigan, across several focus areas including Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, Recreation & Restoration, Family, and Health & Wellness. The program awards three grants annually, each totaling $97,000, with a funding period lasting up to 36 months. To be eligible for this grant, your project must primarily benefit Oakland County residents and demonstrate a measurable high impact on its beneficiaries. Organizations that have received an Impact100 Oakland County grant within the past three years are not eligible to apply again until the three-year period has elapsed. Additionally, your project’s total budget should meet or exceed the amount requested in the grant application. Eligible applicants must be tax-exempt nonprofit organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Applicants can be independent entities or local affiliates of national organizations but must operate or collaborate within Oakland County. Organizations are required to have at least three years of independently prepared financial statements and maintain a minimum annual budget of $250,000. The grant funds may cover up to 15 percent for organizational overhead related to the project but cannot be used for debt reduction, operating deficits, interim or bridge funding, endowment funding, or activities that are religious or political in nature. Furthermore, grants will not support individuals or private foundations nor fund general fundraising efforts such as fund drives or capital campaigns. This opportunity offers significant financial support for projects that align with community needs and priorities in Oakland County. If your organization meets these criteria and is ready to make a measurable difference in one of the specified focus areas, consider applying by the deadline on June 21, 2024.
