Key takeaways

  • The Morey Foundation, based in Mount Pleasant, MI, states a priority focus on Isabella County, so local work in that county that touches its named priorities of education and youth activities, life enrichment for the elderly, or community health and development is the clearest fit.
  • Organisations working elsewhere should weigh that stated priority carefully before writing.
  • The filing gives no deadlines and says the foundation accepts applications, and it prefers an application form, so you can request the form and submit when your project is ready.
  • The filing does not state a grant range, and the foundation paid out $559,580 in its most recent filing year, so size your request to your project's actual needs rather than assuming a typical amount.
