Supporters/Contributors

The Civics Institute is extremely appreciative of the many financial contributors for the development of the Institute and our initiatives. We are very pleased with the progress we have made over the past four years, and are excited as we look to our future as we promote citizenship development in Michigan.

The Civics Institute thanks our contributors that have been so supportive of our mission, with special recognition of The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation. If it were not for The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation’s generous financial support, The Civics Institute would not be in existence today.
