Pfizer’s $1 million gift to Ann Arbor to fund 3 community initiatives
The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation has earmarked three areas to benefit from the $1 million donation made by Pfizer Inc. as it announced that it would close it's operation in the city.
The three strategic priorities, according to AAACF information, are:
> Ypsilanti: Four initiatives will be evaluated for a potential partnership: the Early College Alliance; Eastern Michigan University's Culture Zone; SPARK East; and the Ypsilanti Freighthouse.
> Arts and Culture: AAACF will strengthen the Arts Alliance of the Ann Arbor Area in order to improve the arts and culture sector of the county, guided by the recommendations of the Washtenaw Cultural Plan.
> Early Childhood Development AAACF will collaborate with Washtenaw Success by 6, A Great Start Initiative, to bolster the community's commitment to its children.
In addition a small number of large grants will be awarded to major projects led by local nonprofits.
