Dear Colleagues,

Please consider applying for the 2025 Engage Detroit Workshop grant program, which supports small groups of U-M faculty and staff members.

Continuing the university's deep commitment to partnerships with Detroit, this grant provides up to $15,000 in funding for workshops or speaker series that foster meaningful relationships and connections on a topic connecting faculty and staff at the University of Michigan with Detroit communities. In collaboration with ÂÜÀòÉç-AA and ÂÜÀòÉç-Flint Provosts, the program will support up to six proposals for organizing a workshop or speaker series on a topic that is both relevant to Detroit communities and brings together multiple initiatives/projects led by ÂÜÀòÉç faculty/staff.

Submissions are due by March 9, 2025; an overview of the program is available . You can read more about this in today's , or on the Engaged Michigan .

Please direct any questions you may have about the program or application process to [email protected].

This program continues to receive a very positive response, with 18 grants awarded since its inception in 2022. Please consider sharing this information with your faculty and staff who are engaged in Detroit-based projects.

With all best wishes,

Gabriella
