COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN

2023 YEARBOOK

Since the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan was established in 1984, we have always prioritized equity — whether it’s our support for early childhood education, creating accessible greenways and blueways, or driving inclusive small business development.

In this yearbook, which documents our 2022 fiscal year results and provides a current snapshot of the Community Foundation, you’ll read stories about our equity-building in action, from a barrier-busting street hockey league to an innovative, community-driven criminal legal reform initiative.
