The Kresge Foundation’s work of identifying pathways to opportunity requires deep, sustainable investment in leaders — the people who bring the passion, innovation and long-term commitment needed to find solutions for the most intractable challenges today. Momentum explores the stories of eight standout leaders — working in climate adaptation, higher education, public heath, community investment and more — who bring that work to life and are successfully effecting change in America’s cities. For Kresge, strengthening partners’ organizational capacity, investing in their individual leaders and uniting with them to create systems change are integral parts of our mission.
