Good Opportunities

Background and Goals

The chief aim of the Foundation's three programs is to help develop good schools and good neighborhoods so that young people can be safe, healthy, educated and prepared for adulthood. The Good Schools and Good Neighborhoods programs are the primary focus of the Foundation's grantmaking and changemaking activities. The Good Opportunities program area is designed to support the Foundation's primary work and to invest in special opportunities that can accomplish significant results for children. Though we make grants throughout Metropolitan Detroit, the bulk of our grant dollars are targeted in six Detroit neighborhoods — Brightmoor, Cody/Rouge, Chadsey/Condon, Northend Osborn, Southwest Detroit — and on innovative and successful schools throughout the city of Detroit.
