    Community Foundation For Southeast Michigan

    Summary

    The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan was established in 1984 for the betterment of the residents of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, Washtenaw, St. Clair and Livingston counties. Over the years, the Community Foundation has helped to create and fund numerous projects that improve the lives of those who live in Southeast Michigan. The Foundation's interest areas span from arts and culture, to the environment, to health and human services. The Foundation wants to provide flexible support to a wide range of organizations that meet the interests of their donors.


    Current priorities include the following:

    • Sustainability 
    • Regional Impact
    • Leverage
    • Collaboration

    Beyond these priorities, they consider a very wide range of requests. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

    • In general, they provide support to a specific project of an organization. While they want to understand the entire organizational picture and why this project is the priority, they also want to understand the details of where the Community Foundation's funds will be utilized.
    • In terms of line-items that can be included in the request, please discuss this with a Program staff member when you call. Most often, they support specific direct costs of various projects and programs. They will consider funding staff as a portion of requests, but will need to understand how it is tied to the project, and the long-term sustainability plan for maintaining that staff.
    • In general, the program does not fund ongoing operational costs, capital projects or campaigns, annual fund drives, conferences or other one-time events through our General Grants Program.
