The 2025 Engage Detroit Workshops grant program, now in its fourth year, has chosen seven new projects for funding.
The program supports small teams of U-M faculty, staff, students and community partners in organizing workshops to strengthen partnerships between U-M and the city of Detroit.
The grant provides up to $15,000 for workshops or speaker series that foster meaningful relationships and connections between U-M faculty and staff and Detroit communities.
Past examples of successful projects include financial coaching for small businesses, a website dedicated to navigating Detroit’s educational landscape, and a project aimed at beautifying, reclaiming, and transforming vacant land in Detroit.
