About MIDWEST FOUNDATION

Midwest Foundation is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Grand Rapids, Michigan that organizes the annual Midwest Prayer Breakfast to bring together regional civic, business, and faith leaders. The event is modeled on the National Prayer Breakfast and is intended as a nonpartisan gathering for worship, fellowship, and charitable giving.

The organization launched in 2023 and has run public prayer breakfast events since then (the inaugural breakfast took place in early May 2023). It remains active: the foundation continues to host annual breakfasts at prominent Grand Rapids venues (Frederik Meijer Gardens is the listed location for the 2026 breakfast) and has used the event platform for charitable giving and local/international impact.
