How these figures are built
Every number on this page comes from IRS Form 990 filings — the grants foundations themselves reported on Schedule I or Part XV. Organizations that file the simplified 990-EZ are not asked to report grants, so they do not appear here at all. Donor-advised fund sponsors, corporate giving conduits, and organizations that regrant only to their own affiliates are excluded — they distribute donor-directed or internal funds and do not accept applications. Foundations reporting fewer than 3 grants in a cause are also excluded. And giving patterns reflect the filings loaded, not necessarily what a foundation is funding this year, so verify recent activity before you approach anyone. Full methodology.
This page answers who funds food and agriculture in Michigan. It cannot tell you which of them would fund you — that depends on your cause mix, your size, and where your recipients are.
