Our mission is to amplify the impact of our community’s generosity by channeling it through a unique and strategic approach that maximizes the efficacy of every contribution.
The 4Front Foundation is a unique organziation that spans from Southwest Michigan all the way to the Eastern Upper Peninsula.
We connect and support non-profits across our great state and know that the work they do matters. We love creating opportunity and funds to all of the missions that come across our plate, and the more we grow, the more we can help.
The second annual 4Front Foundation Grant Cycle saw nearly $900,000 in grant applications from Michigan non-profits. Out of the 70 applications, seven non-profits were selected for this year’s grant cycle. Congratulations to all the recipients, and thank you for all you do within our community!
Our 2024 Grant Cycle will open later this year, stay tuned!
The review process will take several weeks and all applicants will be notified of their status.
