Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation’s Grant Funding Cycle. The Corporation was organized as a public benefit corporation to serve organizations that qualify as Section 501(c)(3) under the Internal Revenue Service and benefit the people of the Michigan City Area School District.

The MCCEC 2023-2024 online grant applications deadline has passed. The next grant cycle will begin in September 2023 and the grant applications will be available online in September 2023. In the last grant cycle we awarded 43 grants. Twenty-one of the grants were for $10,000 or less. We received applications totaling one million dollars. We award approximately $750,000 every year, including $100,000 that automatically is awarded to the Washington Park Zoo.

Your Grant Application should be “all-inclusive”, as presentations will not be permitted. However, the Board may request further information from you after a review of the Grant Applications. If your organization is applying for more than one grant, you will need to use a different email address and password for each grant application. No changes can be made once the application is submitted.

The grant application requires supporting files. These items include a Financial Statement for the current year and the previous year, including the current year IRS Determination Letter showing your 501(c)(3) Status. There are several other documents needed as listed in the Grant Application. During the application process you may print your application at any time. This may be helpful for proofreading it before the application is submitted. After submitting your grant application, you will be able to read and print it.

The Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation presented a Grant Writing Workshop.in October 2022. The workshop, was geared to our grant application. A link to the workshop is available at Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation
