DETROIT (AP) - A Detroit-based philanthropic organization says more than $11 million in grants is going to organizations and initiatives in seven southeastern Michigan counties.
The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan says the funding is designed to support community programs in the arts, education, health, housing and human services, and other areas.
Community Development Advocates of Detroit will receive $75,000 for a pilot, resident-led neighborhood tables program focused on advocacy, organizing and planning.
Another $75,000 will go over two years to Michigan Community Resources to develop and launch a corporate pro bono professional services program to connect nonprofits and skilled corporate volunteers in Detroit and southeastern Michigan.
The National Park Foundation will receive $70,000 for youth fishing clinics at the River Raisin National Battlefield Park and park sites throughout southeastern Michigan.
