A group of local and national foundations have announced strategies to meet emerging community needs linked to the COVID-19 crisis. The initial funders include the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, DMC Foundation, Facebook Community Fund, and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation.
“To complement the work of other efforts, address identified needs as they emerge, and provide support to area nonprofits so they can withstand this crisis, we are establishing funds to focus on unmet needs,” says Mariam Noland, president of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan. “In full participation with our foundation partners, we are making grants to provide support for targeted community needs arising from this crisis.”
