Health Alliance Plan of Michigan

About Health Alliance Plan of Michigan

A $150,000 organizational and community support grant to DDP Bike Share Corporation in Detroit is the largest recent award on file for Health Alliance Plan of Michigan. That gift sits within a grantmaking pattern centered on community health, wellness, and the social conditions that shape both, with support also going to education, maternal and prenatal care, and local capacity-building organizations. The foundation’s active community outreach program says it supports more than 100,000 people each year and works with hospital systems, providers, employers, and community groups across Michigan. Recent grants show a strong preference for local nonprofit and community-based organizations. In Detroit, the foundation has supported University of Detroit Mercy, Hannan Center, and Go Tell It Ministry Worldwide, while also backing groups in Flint, Grand Rapids, Pontiac, and Highland Park. Its recent giving includes repeated support for some organizations over multiple years, including DDP Bike Share Corporation, American Heart Association Inc, Meals on Wheels Western Michigan, Pontiac Community Foundation Inc, Hannan Center, Michigan Humane Society, and Ruth Ellis Center Inc. The grants are generally framed as organizational or community support, which aligns with the foundation’s stated emphasis on capacity building, general operating support, organizational development, and technical assistance.

What Health Alliance Plan of Michigan Funds

Health and wellness-related work is the clearest thread in the recent grants. The foundation gave $90,000 to Crim Fitness Foundation Inc in Flint for organizational and community support, and $25,000 to Henry Ford Health System in Detroit for the same purpose. It also supported the American Heart Association Inc with awards in Dallas, including $17,500 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2025. Community infrastructure appears as another theme. DDP Bike Share Corporation received $100,000 in 2025 after a $150,000 award in 2024, both for organizational/community support. Downtown Grand Rapids Inc received $25,000 in 2025, and Uptown Reinvestment Corporation in Flint received $35,000 in 2024. The foundation also backs aging, food access, and youth-serving organizations. Examples include $10,000 to Meals on Wheels Western Michigan in Grandville, $7,500 to Older Persons' Commission in Rochester, and $10,000 to Winning Futures in Troy.
