Field of Interest Funds support specific areas that improve the vitality of southeast Michigan.
At the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, we make strategic, thoughtful investments in organizations and causes that are shaping long-term, positive change across our region.
We believe that thriving communities begin with strong support systems. When people and organizations have access to the right tools, resources, and partnerships, the entire region benefits.
