Grant Purpose - The Midwest Community Foundations' Ventures is a supporting organization of the Council of Michigan Foundations.

These include: (1) community-building initiatives (retaining local and regional wealth for philanthropy, strengthening the community foundation role of civic engagement, and promoting sustainable development through better land use); (2) resource-building programs (sharing best practices for marketing and development, facilitating regional marketing, and supporting and leveraging national standards); and (3) capacity-building tactics (advancing board development, expanding technical assistance, and building sustainable infrastructure for regional associations).
