Evidence

Scholten announced that Bethany Christian Services in Grand Rapids, a nonprofit, will receive $3,876,529 in federal HHS funding. The release says the funding will help the organization provide foster care placements, counseling, and family reunification services, and that she will keep working to protect and expand these federal investments.

Concrete official action benefiting a Michigan nonprofit and explicit continuing-commitment language. No newer June 21-23 official update was found, so this is the latest strong sign available.

She said she would keep working to protect and expand those federal investments.

Official evidence of federal support reaching a Grand Rapids service organization, with explicit continued-investment language. This supports partial fulfillment, not complete delivery of broad support to Michigan nonprofits overall.

Scholten's office posted FY2026 appropriations and Community Project Funding instructions, including programmatic/language requests, a CPF submission form, staff contacts, and language saying the office goal is to assist organizations' objectives through CPF and other funding mechanisms.

Shows an active official process to help organizations seek federal support, but it is process evidence rather than proof that broad nonprofit support was delivered.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Scholten secured federal HHS funding for a Michigan nonprofit and publicly committed to keep protecting and expanding those investments. That supports the promise in part, but the evidence shows a specific beneficiary rather than proof of broad, sustained support for Michigan nonprofits overall.
