SACF Youth Grant Applications Open for Spring 2022

1/27/22

The Straits Area Community Foundation (SACF) is now accepting grant applications for the spring cycle of the Straits Area Youth Advisory Council (SAYAC) Grant. Nonprofit organizations with a 501(c)(3) designation, schools, churches (for non-religious purposes) and government agencies serving Cheboygan County and/or Mackinaw City are welcome and encouraged to apply.

Straits Area Youth Advisory Council Grants may be used to support programs for youth under the age of 18. SAYAC grants are awarded from the Straits Area Kellogg Youth Fund and are determined by the local youth grantmakers serving on the Community Foundation’s Youth Advisory Council. The application deadline is March 15, 2022.

Any program benefitting, or of particular importance to youth, qualifies for funding from a SAYAC grant. The Youth Advisory Council is particularly interested in programs addressing stress issues, depression, mental health and suicide for their peers and community.

Applications are available at sacf.net, where they may be completed online through SACF’s new grants portal. Applicants may request up to $1,000. Applicants may also call the SACF office for more information at 1-877-354-6881.

The Straits Area Community Foundation has served Cheboygan County and Mackinaw City since 1998 and holds a collection of permanently endowed charitable funds supporting a broad range of nonprofits and causes. SACF works closely with donors to connect them with the causes they care about most, and to ensure that those causes are cared for in perpetuity. SACF’s practices are accredited by National Standards for Community Foundations® through its affiliation with the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan.
