Projects & Collaborations

Two of CMF's purposes are to lead and support collaborative philanthropic responses to critical needs and to promote public understanding of and appreciation for the role of philanthropy.

CMF helps foundations connect with each other and with government agencies to share perspectives, develop innovative solutions and engage in public-private partnerships to achieve systemic reforms that improve quality of life in Michigan. We also work to represent the collective voice of Michigan philanthropy to policymakers, the media and the public.

The following projects are examples of current and historical causes CMF has championed.
