Description
The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation’s Community Grantmaking Program invests in community-based organizations, capacity-building programs, and services to expand opportunities for equity in education and decrease racial and economic inequities throughout Washtenaw County. Its priorities connect educational opportunity with support for marginalized young people and people experiencing unemployment or economic hardship.

It also supports educational programming for people facing unemployment or economic hardship.
