About this grant
This grant renews support to the Prima Civitas Foundation to pursue a broad range of initiatives and strategies designed to make Michigan globally competitive in the new economy. Begun in 2005 with the mission of transforming mid-Michigan’s economy, the grantee now works statewide to build networks that connect Michigan’s knowledge assets with catalytic opportunities for economic growth. During the grant period, the grantee will continue to implement a strategic plan focused on promoting international trade; attracting international businesses; and recruiting, retaining, and developing a 21st century workforce. Through the Flint Area Reinvestment Office, a program of Prima Civitas, the grantee will also continue to maintain a strong focus on the Greater Flint region.
