Quick Response Grants
Kalkaska Area Interfaith Resources
Our Quick Response Grants are one part of our Community Funds pool and are meant to offer a rapid, flexible response to community needs. These grants are meant to support unexpected or unforeseeable smaller dollar needs that fall outside of your organization’s regular budget. Requests that are time sensitive will be prioritized. We will also prioritize requests where the total need is not more than $10,000.

Final Reports
We value data and how it informs both our ongoing impact and future grants. Grant partners will be invited to complete a final report within a year of being awarded a grant.
Final reports are used to understand the outcome of your project or program and allow us to share the successes of your work with our supporters, community partners, and the general public.
