The MSU/Big Ten Fund for Safe & Healthy Kids Endowment supports programs that promote children’s safety and success, with an emphasis on preventing and treating child sexual abuse. Administered by the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation, the endowment combines a broad commitment to children’s well-being with a specific focus on addressing sexual abuse through prevention and treatment.
The fund is offered through the foundation’s Fall Grants process, which includes multiple opportunities with their own focus areas and criteria. Organizations use an eligibility quiz to identify opportunities they qualify for, then review the individual criteria to determine which funds fit their work. This endowment serves organizations working in the foundation’s eligible five-county region or serving the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians.
