Corporate Giving Program

The Corporate Giving Program administered by MyMichigan Health is a private grant initiative designed to support nonprofit organizations delivering programs and services that improve community health outcomes. MyMichigan Health is a regional healthcare provider committed to advancing its mission of creating healthier communities through partnerships and targeted investments. This grant program is one of the organization’s primary mechanisms for distributing community benefit funding and sponsorships to organizations whose work aligns with its strategic health priorities. The purpose of the program is to fund initiatives that address pressing community health needs identified through the organization’s Community Health Needs Assessment, which is conducted every three years. The current assessment outlines priority areas through 2028, including behavioral health, chronic disease prevention, and access to care and social services. Eligible projects must demonstrate measurable impact in areas such as suicide prevention, substance use disorder, diabetes management, obesity, cancer prevention, and addressing social determinants of health. Programs are expected to contribute to improving access to care, enhancing population health, advancing education and research, or alleviating burdens on public health systems. Funding is limited to nonprofit organizations that qualify as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Applicants must demonstrate that their proposed programs meet defined community benefit criteria, including serving underserved or medically vulnerable populations, offering services that might otherwise not be financially sustainable, and ensuring accessibility regardless of ability to pay. Additionally, projects should foster partnerships and provide direct and measurable health impacts within the communities served by MyMichigan Health. The program operates on an annual application cycle with a single submission deadline. While applicants may begin and complete their applications in advance, submissions are not reviewed until after the official deadline. For the current cycle, applications are accepted for Fiscal Year 2027 funding, which covers the period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Applications for this cycle are open prior to the June 1, 2026 deadline, and funding decisions are communicated during the week of July 6, 2026. The application process is conducted online and requires applicants to submit detailed information about their organization, program objectives, and anticipated outcomes. Although specific application components are not exhaustively listed, applicants must clearly demonstrate alignment with the stated funding priorities and community benefit requirements. The review process evaluates proposals based on their potential to address identified health needs and produce measurable community impact. Certain types of requests are explicitly ineligible for funding, including support for individuals, political activities, for-profit organizations, operational expenses, fundraising events, capital projects, and activities outside the service area. Additional restrictions apply to ensure that funds are used strictly for programmatic purposes that align with community health objectives. Organizations that receive funding are required to submit a progress report following the completion of the funded activity or within 30 days after one year for ongoing programs. Failure to comply with reporting requirements will result in ineligibility for future funding opportunities. For additional information or questions regarding the application process, applicants may contact the program representative via the provided organizational email address.

Ensure the proposed program clearly aligns with the stated health priority areas and demonstrates measurable community impact, as applications are evaluated based on these criteria.
