Kresge Arts Support

Through Kresge Arts Support, we have awarded unrestricted, operating-support grants to arts and cultural nonprofit organizations located in three metropolitan Detroit counties – Wayne, Oakland and Macomb – in order to contribute to their long-term strength and sustainability of small, medium and large organizations.

Kresge Arts Support was originally launched in 2007 as a three-year grantmaking effort and was extended in 2008. In all, $6.6 million in funding has been awarded to arts and cultural organizations in the tri-county area. In 2007, 53 nonprofits received three-year grants, and in November 2008, a second cohort of 14 organizations was selected to receive two-year grants.

Grant awards were based on merit and the size of an organization’s operational budget. Funding for grantees continues through 2010.
