The Morley Family Foundation is a philanthropic non-profit organization focused on responsibly investing resources and granting monies to support legitimate needs in welfare, health, education, civic improvement, and the humanities. It operates exclusively for charitable, scientific, and educational purposes primarily in Michigan, with a significant emphasis on Saginaw County. Founded in 1948, it continues the legacy of community stewardship initiated by its founders, Ralph C. and Lucy Burrows Morley.
The Morley Foundation Grant program aims to support non-profit institutions and organizations working towards improving the quality of life. It prioritizes projects close to the community over broad social issues, reflecting its belief in grants as investments in the community's future. The foundation considers grant requests quarterly and generally reserves multi-year commitments for capital projects, expressing a preference against funding endowment funds.
