A community trust.
A perpetual endowment.
A vehicle for personal philanthropy.
A reservoir of hopes and dreams.
A response to unmet needs.
A venue for training the civic leaders of tomorrow.
A means of strengthening the community and enhancing individual lives.
The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation is all of these things.
Since 1963, the Foundation has been an agent for positive change in the Ann Arbor community. Education, health care, basic human services, transportation, the arts, youth and senior programs…it would be hard to think of even one aspect of life or one segment of the population that has not benefited from grants made by the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation.
