Community Grantmaking: 

The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation's Community Grantmaking Program seeks to increase opportunities for equity in education and to decrease racial and economic inequities throughout Washtenaw County by investing in community-based organizations, capacity-building programs, and/or services that support:

• Increase literacy efforts for marginalized youth in elementary to high school
• Providing mental health and wellness opportunities for marginalized youth from preschool to high school
• Mentoring programs that provide a holistic approach and empower marginalized youth from preschool to high school

• Educational programming to support those experiencing unemployment and/or economic hardship

  
  This program is currently closed and will open again in 2026.
