Welcome to City Connect Detroit

The issues facing today’s society are as complex as the branches of a tree. Each matter in each community seems to present its own set of challenges. They can all be met, however, by a collective approach. This is why City Connect Detroit exists.

We are bridge builders, connecting federal and state government, and national foundation resources, to communities in need. The link we provide is an important pipeline through which resources funnel to programs, helping to strengthen and sustain them. With this in mind, City Connect Detroit also utilizes cutting-edge technology to make us one of the most efficient organizations in the southeastern Michigan non-profit sector.

The two areas of need upon which City Connect Detroit places its focus:

• Increased access to federal and national funding resources
• Improved collaboration among members of the public and private sector

Located in Detroit’s thriving entertainment and sports district, City Connect Detroit’s team of able professionals strive to remain as driven as next-door neighbors the Detroit Tigers, and as inspiring as our symphonic friends across the street at the Detroit Opera House. This talented group carries out City Connect Detroit’s organizational mission by blending high-tech services – i.e., our funding e-mail alerts and online database - with high touch assistance, growing more cohesive with each successful endeavor. This push-pull approach means leadership and aid comes part and parcel with every project City Connect Detroit gets involved in.
