2022 Funds of the Foundation

The Community Foundation empowers donors to transform charitable inspiration into lasting impact with a variety of options. Unrestricted endowment funds give us the flexibility to address our region’s most urgent needs and promising opportunities as they arise. Field of interest funds let donors support causes they care about while leaning on the Community Foundation's expertise to determine how grants can best serve the community's evolving needs over time. Alternatively, donors can create scholarships or invest in specific organizations that are close to their hearts.

Unrestricted Endowment Funds

Donors establish unrestricted funds as a lasting example of their commitment to the community. These flexible funds provide the critical community capital that allows the Community Foundation to respond to the needs of our time, test innovative solutions, and support charitable activities that will make our region a great place to live and work for generations to come.


Southeast Michigan Forever

  • Gifts of all sizes give the Community Foundation the flexibility to address emerging needs and unforeseen opportunities in our region.
