Reflecting on Impact, Building for Tomorrow

December 9th, 2024 Back to Browse Stories

As we reflect on the past year, we are deeply grateful for the support of our donors and partners, which has empowered the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan to build the resources, relationships and expertise required to expand equitable access to opportunities in our region.

Donations to the Community Foundation have enabled us to support local nonprofits in meeting urgent needs, launching innovative programs, and building resilient communities. These investments are not just short-term wins; they are lasting commitments to a shared future, ensuring that southeast Michigan is a place where everyone can thrive, now and forever.

As we look ahead, we invite you to join us in building something truly lasting. By making a gift to the Now and Forever Fund, you can help ensure that the positive change we create today continues to flourish for generations to come. This fund is a cornerstone of our mission, allowing us to:

  • Sustain Impact: Address the root causes of our region’s challenges, creating long-term, meaningful change.
  • Adapt with Vision: Respond swiftly and effectively to new opportunities and challenges, nurturing a stronger, more vibrant community.
  • Build a Legacy: Create a permanent resource that will benefit southeast Michigan, ensuring that future generations can thrive.
