Kresge Innovative Projects: Detroit Q & A Intro
- 1. Kresge Innovative Projects: Detroit Q&A Session November 17, 2014 TechTown Detroit
- 2. Agenda 2 • Welcome • Introductory Remarks Ken Cockrel Jr. Executive Director, Detroit Future City • Kresge Foundation and Kresge Innovative Projects: Detroit Overview Bryan Hogle Program Officer, Detroit/Community Development, Kresge Foundation George Jacobsen Program Officer, Detroit/Community Development, Kresge Foundation • Detroit Future City and the Strategic Framework Plan Dan Kinkead Director of Projects, Detroit Future City • Q & A
- 3. Work of the Kresge Foundation’s Detroit Program 3 The goal of Kresge’s Detroit Program is to advance tangible, sustainable, long-term progress in the city. We do this by focusing on six key areas: • Green, Healthy, Active Neighborhoods • Vibrant Woodward Corridor • Robust Arts and Culture Ecosystem • 21st Century Regional Transit • High-Quality Early Education System • Enhanced Civic Capacity
- 4. Structure and goal of the initiative 4 The Kresge Innovative Projects: Detroit Grant Program is a three-year initiative for transformative improvements to conditions in neighborhoods in all seven Detroit City Council districts. Through it, we seek to respond to community objectives expressed during the Detroit Future City planning process by providing resources for projects that support the vision and creativity of the city’s residents in neighborhoods.
- 5. The initiative includes two types of grants 5 Implementation grants • For “shovel-ready” projects that can being in early 2015 • $50,000 to $150,000 each • Projects must be completed within an 12- to18-month timeframe beginning in March 2015 • Applicants must address project site control • We expect to award at least one implementation grant in each of the seven Detroit City Council districts (7-10 total) Planning grants • For strong but not-yet shovel-ready projects • Up to $25,000 each • Planning work expected to be completed in 6-month grant period • Planning grants awarded on a competitive basis citywide (7-10 total)
- 6. More about a few notable initiative components • Site control We will consider nonphysical projects, such as social service, public safety and arts and cultural projects, as part of this initiative. If the proposed project doesn’t require a site, this can be addressed through an explanation in the proposal. • 12-18 month timeframe This is one of several initiative requirements intended to ensure projects have a tangible near-term impact on conditions in neighborhoods. • Council districts Targeting at least one implementation project per City Council district is intended to ensure that projects are spread across the city. The focus on council districts is a geographic consideration, not a political one. • 6-month planning grant period We intend to launch the next round of the Kresge Innovative Projects: Detroit initiative in September 2015. By requiring that planning-grant work be completed in six months, Kresge hopes to give planning-grant recipients ample time to apply for implementation grants in the next round of the initiative. 6

- Intro to Kresge: Kresge is a national foundation dedicated to expanding opportunity in America’s cities. It was founded in Detroit in 1924 and is now based in the Detroit suburb of Troy, with a satellite Detroit Program office in Midtown. Kresge’s Detroit Program works to promote long-term economic opportunity and re-establish the city as the center of a vibrant region. In recent years, it has provided roughly $25 million a year to nonprofits whose efforts advance that goal. Summary of N’d’s module: The vision created under the Detroit Future City Strategic Framework Plan offers us – and partners across the region and around the country – the opportunity to coordinate our investments with others to reinvigorate the heart and soul of Detroit: its neighborhoods. While the city’s neighborhoods face varying degrees of challenges, all have assets to cultivate. We believe that only a highly integrated set of strategies and investments, aligned with the Detroit Future City framework and implemented over time, will build on these assets to create the green, healthy and active communities residents seek. We focus our neighborhood redevelopment work in the following ways: Advancing place-based physical development Strengthening and capitalizing local community development financial institutions and intermediaries Supporting leadership development and community engagement Addressing the effects of widespread blight Creating a base of annual support for the Detroit Future City implementation office Seeding mixed-income housing that allows people from all walks of life to live together in community The KIP:D initiative falls into the Green, Healthy, Active Neighborhoods focus area.

- A couple of points to highlight: This is the first round of a multi-round initiative. We see this as a pilot - he applications we receive this year will help us to refine the program for the second and third years. Targeting at least one implementation project per City Council district is intended to ensure that projects are spread across the city. The focus on council districts is a geographic consideration, not a political one.
- 12-18 month timeframe This is one of several initiative requirements intended to ensure projects have a tangible near-term impact on conditions in neighborhoods Site control We will consider non-physical projects, such as social service, public safety and arts and cultural projects, as part of this initiative.

By requiring that planning-grant work be completed in six months, Kresge hopes to give planning-grant recipients ample time to apply for implementation grants in the next round of the initiative
