2016 YEARBOOK ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan is a multifaceted, full-service philanthropic organization leading the way to positive change in southeast Michigan.
We promote and facilitate community philanthropy in the seven counties of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, Washtenaw, Livingston and St. Clair, and we help donors invest in organizations they care about — locally and nationwide.
We do this by:
• Making strategic investments in programs and organizations that benefit the region
• Equipping organizations and the public with knowledge and information that will lead to positive change
• Building endowment — community capital — to meet our region’s needs, today and tomorrow, and
• Providing expert assistance to donors and their advisors in their charitable planning.

While much is changing in the Detroit food landscape, many city residents lack access to healthy, fresh food. This contributes to high rates of obesity and diet-related illness, such as diabetes and hypertension. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program was designed by the Ann Arbor-based Ecology Center to get good quality fresh food into the hands of low-income people visiting Detroit health clinics.
With Community Foundation support, this successful pilot program will expand into a citywide network focused on patients with chronic diseases, pregnant women and caregivers of children under 5. Clinicians meet with patients and families to discuss healthy eating and give a “prescription” for up to $40 worth of fresh Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables at farmers’ markets. Participants also receive tips, recipes, cooking demonstrations and support for healthy lifestyle changes.

POP-X is a free community arts festival piloted last year by the Ann Arbor Art Association. The 10-day fall event featured “pop up” art installations created by artists and architects in 100-square-foot pavilions around downtown Ann Arbor. Outside the pavilions, curated activities included demonstrations, performances, lectures and participatory artmaking.
A grant from the Community Foundation is helping to support the continuation of POP-X and to develop a comprehensive marketing and evaluation campaign for the program, aimed at drawing audiences from around the region. Ann Arbor is a popular destination for art and performance lovers during its July art fairs and Summer Festival; POP-X adds a fall festival to enliven the downtown area and showcase the work of local artists.

With the completion of the extension of the Dequindre Cut, Detroit now boasts a continuous walking and biking path linking the riverfront to Eastern Market, Wayne State University and Midtown. Like the High Line in New York, the first stretch of the cut opened in 2009, also utilizing an abandoned rail corridor — but one that sits 25 feet below grade. It has become one of the most used and beloved public spaces in the city.
Such a transformation seemed like a distant goal when we began work on the project in 2001. It was one of the first efforts of our GreenWays Initiative, created to support a regional network of paths and trails. The initiative’s goals were to improve access to cultural amenities, spur economic development, promote healthier lifestyles and break down boundaries by reconnecting diverse communities. To date, more than 130 projects have resulted in the building of more than 120 miles of greenways linking 80 municipalities across southeast Michigan.

Community Foundation 101 — that’s the name we gave to a series of presentations we put on around the region in 2015 for nonprofits. The goal was to help organizations learn about our grantmaking priorities and those of our supporting organization, the DMC Foundation. We also provided information about the benefits of building endowment with the Community Foundation.
The day-long sessions, held in Howell, Dearborn and Clinton Township, drew 225 people eager to learn about new funding opportunities and discuss their projects with our staff. Along with our streamlined application process and user-friendly website, Community Foundation 101 is another way we strive to stay connected with and approachable to nonprofits in our region.
