For years, my law partner Nancy Nihem and I have had the privilege of collaborating with the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan to assist our clients with philanthropic planning. We’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible work the Community Foundation does and firmly believe in the importance of supporting its operations endowment to ensure the continued success of the foundation’s mission.

The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan has been our trusted partner when creating philanthropic plans for our clients. Their willingness to collaborate and provide invaluable assistance in these matters is energizing and rewarding as it strengthens our relationship with our clients and our communities.
