Giving through the Community Foundation allows you to support what is most important to you. You may support the endowment of a particular nonprofit organization or give to a particular area of philanthropic interest. Or, you may choose to support the Community Foundation’s unrestricted endowment fund, which gives us the flexibility to address the emerging needs and unforeseen opportunities that arise in our region over time, such as helping resolve Detroit’s bankruptcy.
