Description
The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation’s Dedicated Grant Program brings together five Field of Interest Funds, each with a distinct purpose and geographic focus within Washtenaw County, Michigan. The program supports local nonprofits delivering services that improve quality of life, strengthen communities, enhance music education, and prevent domestic and dating violence.
Supported work includes improving conditions for African Americans in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti; serving veterans and their families; promoting aviation education; advancing Catholic ideals of service and social justice; and building community. Other priorities include services for seniors and youth, mental health, food and housing security, arts and culture, and outdoor recreation in Dexter. Music education funding seeks to reach young musicians directly or through their teachers, while violence prevention funding emphasizes early intervention and prevention.
