The Miller Foundation makes grants to eligible Battle Creek Area projects only.  Grantees (which are not  governmental or religious organizations) must have a letter from the Internal Revenue Service determining that it is a 501 (c)(3) organization which is not a private foundation within the meaning of 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Charitable organizations should send an initial letter to The Miller Foundation.  This letter should briefly describe the project or program and how it will address one of the focuses of the Foundation outlined above, the amount to be requested from the Miller Foundation as well as any amount being requested from other foundations.

After reviewing this initial letter, The Miller Foundation staff will, if appropriate, send a formal grant application to the requesting organization.

The Miller Foundation trustees meet in the following months to consider proposals.  To be considered, applications must be received by the first day of the months as listed.

               January, March, May, July, September, November
