Big Rapids Nonprofit Receives Grant Funded by the CARES Act

A northern Michigan nonprofit is getting help through a Michigan humanities grant funded by the CARES Act.

They’re one of 116 Michigan nonprofits getting more than $660,000.

Artworks in Big Rapids received $7,500 in Michigan HOPE grants.

They used the money to pay staff and cover facility costs.

Before the grant, COVID-19 forced Artworks to consider closing their doors.

“You know this type of support has really helped us get through what otherwise would have been just an absolutely crushing blow that would have probably crippled us for years moving forward,” said Matt Hildebrand, Executive Director.
