SACF Micro-Grants are perfect for smaller organizations that seek programming or project support. These opportunities are presented for consideration to donors with funds at the Sturgis Area Community Foundation. Micro-Grants may be funded at any time throughout the year based on the giving interests of the fund holder. Historically, our donors support requests for initiatives that directly benefit residents of the Sturgis area and surrounding communities in St. Joseph County, Mich.
