Mission
The Matthew and Karen Cullen Family Foundation believes cities must be socially and economically vibrant in order to create communities that thrive. We seek to advance the following focus areas in our grant making:
- Public Spaces
- Social Justice
- Economic Development
- The Environment
- Racial Justice
- Youth Development & Education
We are proud to have called southeast Michigan home for generations, and the city of Detroit itself is an essential piece of our family’s past, present, and future. Preference will be given to programs and activities that offer solutions to directly improve the quality of life for residents of Detroit and the greater metropolitan area.
Programs, projects, and activities that address the following elements will also receive priority consideration:
-
Increase health, wellness, and fitness
-
Broaden educational resources for Detroit students
-
Broaden public participation or civic engagement
The Matthew and Karen Cullen Family Foundation provides the means to improve and sustain the quality of life for youth in our communities.
