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.
