Required next actionRead the official TOWN Grants section at https://www.midlandfoundation.org/apply/. Confirm the applicant is one of the 23 eligible Midland County townships, wards or villages, identify the public improvement and confirm the Foundation's matching-funds requirement. Complete its TOWN budget template https://www.midlandfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/TOWN-Budget-Template.pdf with confirmed/pending funding and balanced itemized revenues and expenses; submit through the official TOWN Jotform link. Ask the funder to clarify any portal-only attachments and match ratio.
Broad Eligibility
All 23 townships, wards and villages within Midland County, Michigan, may apply for TOWN funding for qualifying public improvement projects. A private business or unrelated nonprofit is not independently eligible under the TOWN-specific applicant listing merely because other Foundation grant programs have broader eligibility.
Atlas Analysis
Official Midland Area Community Foundation TOWN program page and one-page project budget reviewed October 27, 2026. Genuine Midland County local-government public improvement matching grant, not procurement; up to $5,000 per eligible township, ward or village with rolling applications. Budget form documents organizational cash/in-kind and costs but does NOT establish precise required match ratio. Specific application Jotform could not be independently retrieved to confirm potentially controlling match and submission prerequisites. Thus this record is held in Pending Review and must not be protected-approved or published until the requirements are obtained and independently verified. This distinct TOWN program is unaffected by cancellation of the separate Community Investment cycle.
Midland County TOWN Grants — Rolling Matching Support for Public Improvements
The Midland Area Community Foundation offers TOWN Grants for eligible townships, wards, and villages within Midland County, Michigan. Each qualifying applicant may request up to $5,000 in matching grant funds toward a local public improvement project. The Foundation’s current application page explicitly states applications are accepted anytime; no fixed deadline, cutoff hour, or time zone is published.
Who may apply?
The funder specifically identifies all 23 Midland County townships, wards and villages as eligible for its TOWN funding. This is a specialized local-public-improvement opportunity, not a broad unrestricted nonprofit grant or a commercial vendor bidding contract. Nonprofit organizations, schools, or private firms should not assume they can apply independently merely because they are eligible for other Midland Area Community Foundation programs.
Funding and match
The maximum grant request is $5,000 for an eligible public improvement project. The Foundation calls the funding matching funds; the accessible grant description does not specify a universal required match ratio or minimum verified cash percentage. Applicants must document their project costs and other funding sources and confirm exactly what constitutes an acceptable match before submitting. A separate total program funding allocation is not stated.
Project and budget
Projects must improve Midland County communities and have a legitimate public-improvement purpose. The Foundation’s required project budget template asks for grant funds, organizational funds and any in-kind contributions, with each revenue source marked confirmed or pending and total revenues equaling total itemized expenses. Materials, supplies, equipment and other proposed expenses should be justified to the funder; the public information does not establish a universal list of eligible or prohibited purchase categories. No standard reimbursement schedule is published in the open program summary.
How to apply
Use the TOWN Grants Application Link in the Foundation’s official Apply page and upload the completed TOWN project-budget template. Discuss applicant eligibility, intended improvements, matching-fund treatment and any additional portal requirements with the Foundation’s Director of Community Impact before submission. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis while the program remains available; funding is not guaranteed.
