The second Racial Equity Fund cohort has been awarded $1 million for 2023. For the 2023 cohort, a total of a total of 26 Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC)-led organizations received grants between $10,000 and $50,000 to address racial inequities. These organizations focus on issues at the intersection of mental health, developmental disabilities, community development and revitalization, education, land ownership, financial literacy, food insecurity, maternal health, housing and more. This brings the Racial Equity Fund’s total investment in local organizations across Southeastern Michigan to $2 million since its inception in 2022.
