Programs

We have seven, narrowly defined programs that each in its own way works to improve the life circumstances of poor and low-income children and adults and those living in underserved urban and rural communities.

Our energies are focused on:

  • Creating access and opportunity in underserved communities
  • Improving the health of low-income people
  • Supporting artistic expression
  • Increasing college achievement
  • Assisting in the revitalization of Detroit – and
  • Advancing methods for dealing with climate change.
