SUBJECT: 2025 Engage Detroit Workshops Grant Program - Call for Proposals

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 UM-AA and UM-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 UM 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 Record article, or on the Engaged Michigan website.

Please direct any questions you may have about the program or application process to engagedmichigan@umich.edu.

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
