What We Do
Fund a Life is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides urgent financial support to individuals and families facing life-altering challenges. Whether it’s a devastating diagnosis, a tragic accident, or an unexpected crisis, we step in when life turns upside down.
We issue one-time grants that offer immediate relief to help people navigate their hardest moments with dignity, hope, and support.
Our average grant is around $5,000, and to date we’ve awarded over $1,000,000 to more than 160 families across Michigan and beyond. Every grant is made possible by the generosity of our community, donors, and Mission Partners.
We know that while money can’t buy miracles, it can lift the weight of crisis by giving people space to breathe, heal, and move forward. That’s the power of community. That’s the heart of Fund a Life.
