Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Detroit neighborhood, arts and community development infrastructure
Equitable climate resilience and clean energy capacity in cities
Arts and culture as a community vitality strategy
Community investment finance: CDFIs, funds, tax credit deals
College access and student success for low-income students
Family economic mobility and public-sector systems change

Typical grant

Median grant is $146,800, with the middle half between $75,000 and $250,000. The seven-figure checks go to Detroit anchor institutions and national intermediaries like Enterprise Community Partners, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan; the $75,000 to $250,000 range covers most everything else, including project work with policy shops and universities. With 2,401 grants to 997 recipients over three years, roughly two-plus grants per organization, renewal and multi-grant relationships are the norm rather than the exception.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“PROJECT SUPPORT GRANT TO SUPPORT”
“GENERAL OPERATING SUPPORT”
“equitable climate resilience”
“capacity, collaboration, and alignment”
“low-wealth communities”
“community power building”
“systems change”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie your work to a named Kresge city: Detroit first, then Memphis, Fresno, New Orleans, Saint Paul.
Ask $200,000 to $400,000 for a two-year project; that band is where most non-Detroit work lands.
Frame research as capacity building for practitioners or cities, not as scholarship; they fund technical assistance.
Pair with an established intermediary (LISC, Enterprise, Urban Institute, Public Health Institute) rather than approaching solo.

Worth knowing: Michigan, and specifically Detroit, absorbs the largest share by far, and DC-based national intermediaries and fiscal sponsors (New Venture Fund, Tides, Windward, NEO Philanthropy) take much of the rest, which signals relationship-driven, invitation-style giving through known partners. Recent grants lean heavily toward equity-framed climate, arts as community development, and people-centered public systems change, so adjacent work should be translated into one of those three frames.
