The decision to fund an organization’s project is determined by one or more of the following guidelines.

These guidelines reflect the purposes for which the MBF was founded: The organization contributes to regional economic development The organization is based in the Mid-Michigan area and serves young people The funded project promotes amateur sports, fitness and overall good health Some examples of items not supported by MBF grant awards include: Seasonal or routine maintenance needs – ex.

Diamond Dust, resurfacing of ball fields Projects more appropriately funded by taxpayers or tuition MBF prefers to see that the requesting organization contribute funds directly to the project from their own donors or operations. MBF prefers to not be the “first-in” nor only funding source. Projects will be completed by the end of the calendar year the grant was received.
