Joel Fleishman was one of the most extraordinary people to have graced #philanthropy over the last fifty years. The world has lost a transcendent talent and scholar, an incomparably warm and generous soul, and a dear friend. I will miss him greatly. sanford.duke.edu/story/hundr…

By locating the MI CLIMATE INVESTMENT HUB @Newlab in #Detroit, the @kresgefdn is a partner in helping to ensure that the communities most affected by climate change have a seat at the table in developing solutions. @kresgefdn crainsdetroit.com/politics-p…
The reverberations of tomorrow’s elections will be as varied as they will be powerful. A new administration. A new House. A new Senate. New constitutional provisions and local ballot initiatives. It is not one election – it is scores of elections.
... the heightened challenges of climate change … the impossibly difficult burdens facing people with few resources & fewer opportunities for economic mobility … all demanded that Kresge do everything in its power to fortify the people & organizations able to start in motion...

As we gear up for the Nov. elections, we can all agree that getting out the vote is of the essence, regardless of party affiliation. The @MichSoS recently unveiled new designs developed by Detroit young people for the iconic “I Voted” stickers. #Vote freep.com/story/news/politic…
We could not be more thrilled that the @cfsem has named Nicole Sherard-Freeman as its new president. She will be succeeding Ric Devore, who has served with deep distinction for nearly three years and who has decided to retire. Congratulations Nicole! bit.ly/4eL9rNx
