MI-CEMI’s mini-grant cycle is currently open, and we are accepting applications from member organizations until February 10, 2023 until 11:59pm. The maximum amount to be distributed per grant will be $2,500.00, and should be utilized for initiatives, projects, events, etc that align with our goals to:
1. Prevent incarceration through diversion and changes to policing;
2. Reduce the average length of stay through sentencing and parole reforms;
3. Provide people in prison quality educational and health programming;
4. Reduce the return-to-prison rate through robust reentry services;
5. Reinvest money saved by reducing incarceration back into community;
6. Lead public education to inform voters and elected officials on issues above.
MI-CEMI has been able to award mini-grants to some 501(c)3 organizations doing work in line with our vision to end mass incarceration and create and restore healthy communities in Michigan.
