The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan is always looking for effective program and project ideas that can improve life in southeast Michigan, specifically in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, Washtenaw, St. Clair and Livingston counties. We accept grant requests from nonprofit organizations serving southeast Michigan which are tax-exempt public charities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Community Foundation provides grants considering various local needs and identifying those projects which promise the strongest long-term impact on the region. In general, we fund projects and programs in the areas of arts and culture, education, health, human services, civic affairs, neighborhood and regional economic development, workforce development, and environment and land use.

Detailed information about the Community Foundation's grantmaking programs is available by following the links listed to the left.

The Community Foundation also makes grants from a special type of fund called donor advised funds. Donor advisors can recommend grants at the Suggest a Grant page.
