Request for Proposal

Overview

The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation doesn’t just wait for grant applications. By gathering data through listening and learning sessions with community leaders, the Foundation has been able to develop a request for proposal that is population-led and community-inspired. Each year, our sessions and data gathering culminate in multiple initiatives that support organizations throughout Michigan to address community-identified needs.

New opportunity
