Update: General Grant Applications Are Now Online
The Sanilac County Community Foundation is moving all general grant applications to a new online portal powered by AkoyaGO – GOapply. This change is part of a new process for our Board of Trustees and staff, designed to improve efficiency, record-keeping, and sustainability over time.
What the portal lets you do:
- Start, save, and return to in-progress applications
- Collaborate with multiple team members on one application
- Review past submissions and responses
- Skip paper copies—submit everything online
The portal is live now, and the online application mirrors our previous paper form to make the transition smooth.
We’re learning alongside you. As our Board and staff adopt this new system, we’ll continue refining the process. Your feedback is welcome and appreciated as we work to make it better.
