About Lakeshore Support Organization

A repeated $2,000,000 grant to Lakeshore Foundation stands out in the recent record of Lakeshore Support Organization, showing a direct relationship with the organization it funds. The two largest grants on file, both in 2023 and 2024, were each designated "to support activities and programs" at the Birmingham-based recipient. That pattern fits a funder centered on disability-related work: advancing opportunities, independence, and health for people with disabilities through adaptive sports, research, community health programs, and advocacy. The foundation’s active programs also point to a tightly defined grantmaking approach, with support aimed at community health, research, athlete services, and sports science initiatives. Those programs are tied to specific priorities such as prevention, access to care, health equity, sports science research, rehabilitation research, and athlete performance. In the recent-grants record, Lakeshore Support Organization appears as a grantmaker that supports program and activity costs rather than individuals, and its funding is structured around direct, restricted support for aligned organizations and activities.

What Lakeshore Support Organization Funds

Community health is a clear part of the portfolio. Through its Community Health Grants program, Lakeshore Support Organization supports community health programs and services aligned with prevention, access to care, and health equity priorities in Michigan. Research is another defined area: the Research Grants program funds initiatives in sports science, rehabilitation, and applied health research. Athlete support also appears as a distinct strand through the Athlete Services Scholarship program, which is referenced on the foundation’s website. A fourth area is connected to the Sports Science & Performance Center Grants program, which supports programs and partnerships involving athlete services and performance initiatives, including nonprofit program partners. Together, these programs show a mix of health, research, and athlete-focused support rather than a broad open-ended grant portfolio.

How Lakeshore Support Organization Gives

Lakeshore Support Organization’s recent grants show a very tight grant-size pattern: the p25, median, and p75 are all $2,000,000. That indicates a uniform recent award level rather than a wide spread of grant sizes. The recipient record also suggests repeat support, with the same organization appearing in both 2023 and 2024 at the same amount. The foundation is structured as a grantmaker that does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its philosophy tags point to program/project support, direct program funding, and restricted or activity-specific grants.
