As part of our continued effort to be transparent and responsive to community needs, we’ve introduced several important updates to our grantmaking approach.
These changes reflect valuable input from you – our grantee partners – and are part of a larger effort to make our process more accessible and aligned with community priorities.
You’ll find information on our new department name, the Community Foundation’s focus areas, the streamlined Community Grants application process, and our upcoming move from Fluxx to MyCF, our new platform for donors and nonprofit partners here.
These improvements are just the beginning. We will continue to listen, learn, and adjust as we work alongside you to create a vibrant southeast Michigan where everyone can thrive.
If you have questions or want to connect further, our Community Impact team is here to support you. Contact the team at impact@cfsem.org
Thank you for all that you do for southeast Michigan.
The icons on the left-hand side are called “cards”.
