We offer two competitive grant opportunities specifically for Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS). Grant applications are accepted year-round, reviewed annually in November, and awards are presented in December, with funding available for the 2024-2025 academic year. Only one application needs to be completed for both available TCAPS opportunities.

The TCAPS Academic Excellence Endowment (previously known as the Assisting Children's Education Endowment) supports a variety of K-12 programs within TCAPS to help students and teachers develop and implement innovative ideas that are student-focused, curriculum-based and promote academic excellence.
The Titan Excellence Fund Endowment supports programs or projects to benefit students of Traverse City West Senior High, with a primary focus on supporting student life and academics. Programs or projects for music or athletics are also considered.
The Community Foundation values data and how it informs both our ongoing impact and future grants. Post-grant reports will be sent to grant partners and are intended to provide feedback on our process and effectiveness as grantmakers.

Hallie Olson Wastell, Hallie's Hearts Endowment
Hallie lived with a fun-loving, courageous luminescence that brought goodwill to her life, family, friends, and the good of others. She died in 2016, after a four-year fight with ovarian cancer, during which she was a constant torchbearer for the fight against ovarian cancer.
Now, Hallie's Hearts Endowment will help to continue her effort in carrying that torch.
