Through our Rapid Response Grant program, the Michigan Justice Fund supports Michigan-based advocacy and direct service organizations to meet emerging needs and advance justice reform efforts across the state. Successful applications will demonstrate a clear connection to the Fund’s mission. Eligible organizations may apply for up to $10,000 in funding. Submissions are due November 23, 2026 at 12:00 pm ET.
Requests that align with one or more of the following three categories will be considered:
- Urgent organizational and collaborative movement responses to a crisis or unanticipated event.
- Time-sensitive planning and coordination needs in response to strategic opportunities.
- Incubation or testing of new ideas, which may have the potential for medium-term impact but lack evidence required from standard foundation grant application processes.
Before starting your application, carefully review the Rapid Response Grant Guidelines. Please ensure that your organization is eligible to apply and that the request aligns with the priorities of the Michigan Justice Fund prior to submission.
