Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) support small businesses?

The MEDC offers a comprehensive suite of programs including the Trusted Connector Grants for organizations serving under-represented businesses, Match on Main grants of up to $25,000 for place-based businesses, the Micro MBDP incentive program for job-creating businesses, and the Small Business Development Center network providing free counseling and training in all 83 Michigan counties. The MEDC also partners with 15 local and nonprofit economic development organizations to administer targeted small business relief programs.

What is the MI Funding Hub and how can I use it to find Michigan grants?

MI Funding Hub is Michigan's centralized online portal where grant seekers can explore grants and funding opportunities across state and local programs. The platform allows users to search by category, eligibility, and geography, access technical assistance resources, and find detailed grant information including deadlines and application requirements. It serves as the primary starting point for organizations seeking state-level funding in Michigan.

Are there Michigan grants specifically for arts and cultural organizations?

Yes, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council (MACC) provides Mission Support grants to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts and culture organizations. Funding categories include operational support, facility enhancement and equipment purchase, professional and organizational development, field trips, and arts education programming. Applications typically open in late fall with deadlines in January. Additional arts funding is available through local community foundations and regional arts councils.

What community development grants does Michigan offer for real estate and infrastructure projects?

Michigan offers the Build MI Community Grant for small-scale real estate redevelopment gap financing, administered by the MEDC on behalf of the Michigan Strategic Fund. The state also provides Community Development Block Grant funds through local municipalities for housing and infrastructure projects. For larger economic development projects, the Micro MBDP program and Michigan Community Revitalization Program offer incentives tied to job creation and private investment.

Does Michigan offer grants for workforce safety and training?

Yes, the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) administers the Consultation Education and Training Grant Program, which awards approximately $900,000 annually to nonprofit organizations, universities, labor unions, and industry groups. These grants expand access to workplace safety and health training specifically for small and medium-sized employers, helping them build safer work environments and comply with safety regulations.
