Kresge Foundation commits $2M to Detroit s COVID-19 vaccination effort
Detroit The Kresge Foundation is committing $2 million to bolster access to COVID-19 vaccines and support services in Detroit.
The foundation said Thursday it will direct half of the funding toward health equity efforts in Detroit through community health centers, neighborhood development groups and human service agencies. Kresge has committed the other $1 million to grants to support various organizations with vaccination efforts. Those will be awarded in the coming weeks.
“COVID-19 is not over, especially in Black and Brown communities, Wendy Lewis Jackson, managing director of the Kresge Foundation’s Detroit Program, said in a news release. Community organizations are telling us that there’s more to be done to get out the word in neighborhoods that vaccines are readily available, safe and save lives, and to help connect residents to them.
