Opportunity Overview
The Midland Area Youth Action Council offers Invested Adult Mini-Grants to groups of adults supporting youth in Midland County. The Foundation identifies advisors to student clubs and leaders of groups such as booster clubs and parent-teacher organizations as appropriate applicants. The current page states that requests are reviewed most months during the academic year and are due by day 10 of the applicable review month. No closing clock time or time zone is published.
Funding and Eligibility
Awards are up to $500. The youth group and/or invested-adult group must be associated with an educational entity or a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Priority is given to plans that remove barriers families might otherwise be unable to overcome.
Submission and Requirements
Applications are submitted through the Foundation’s online application link. The public page does not state a mandatory match or cost-share percentage, a separate solicitation number, or a complete attachment checklist. Applicants should verify the current form, review month, required uploads, organizational association, and any school or nonprofit approvals before submission.
Atlas Strategic Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 55/100. The grant is relevant to Michigan schools and youth-support organizations, but its $500 ceiling limits the scale of supported work.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The award ceiling is not appropriate for an N9+ pathway. Atlas should not force a device use case into this mini-grant.
Dr. Miltie, LLC direct-applicant status: Not eligible as a direct applicant under the published association requirement.
Outreach Status
Publication is appropriate for the recurring academic-year program. Applicant outreach is held until the specific review month, exact day-10 closing mechanics, and current online application requirements are verified.
