Located in Troy, The Kresge Foundation is a private, national foundation that works to expand opportunities in America’s cities through grantmaking and social investing in arts and culture, education, environment, health, human services, and community development, with focus areas in Detroit, Memphis, and New Orleans. Grantmaking and social investment tools include general operating support, project grants, planning grants, and impact investments. The foundation says it focuses on cities because they are powerful vehicles of change, offer a concentration of the skills and ideas needed to spark innovation, have a density of assets that contribute to expanded opportunity, are manageable units of governance, and are open to engagement. The Kresge Foundation was founded in 1924 by Sebastian S. Kresge.
