As the birthplace of the Gerber Foundation, the foundation supports a variety of youth programming within a 4-county area that includes Lake, Muskegon, Newaygo, and Oceana Counties in West Michigan. Grants are geared towards projects serving youth from 0-18 years of age. Although typically under $10,000, grants may range from $100 to $20,000. Grants are generally limited to one-year commitments.
