Funders

Funding Sources:

Over the years, many foundations and individuals have given us significant and generous support. We also collect modest fees for most of our programs so that the individual customer at the community level has a stake in our success (but never to the point of excluding anyone based on ability to pay).

Funders and supporters in 2006 included:
City of Detroit Neighborhood Opportunity Fund and Community Development Block Grant
James and Lynelle Holden Fund
John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Comerica Bank
