    About Clannad Foundation

    The Clannad Foundation appears to make targeted, local grants to nonprofit human-service providers in Michigan. Its sole recorded grant supports Crossroads of Michigan, indicating a focus on direct social services and assistance to vulnerable individuals and families in the region. The foundation’s giving is modest in scale and concentrated rather than broadly distributed.

    Focus Areas

    Direct human services and emergency assistance in MichiganCommunity-based social service organizations serving families and individualsSupport for Michigan nonprofits headquartered in or serving Bloomfield Hills / Southeast Michigan

    Who They Fund

    individuals in need/clients of human servicespatients/health care recipientspeople experiencing housing instability or homelessnessstudents/learnerslocal communities/general public

    Giving Approach

    Highly concentrated single-grant giving: one relatively small, one-off gift to a local human-services organization rather than multiple or diversified grantees.

    About Clannad Foundation

    Clannad Foundation’s recent giving shows a recurring pattern of local, small-organization support in Michigan, with repeated grants to human-service providers and several Bloomfield Hills institutions. Among the largest awards on file are $25,000 to Cranbrook Educational Community (Japanese Garden) and $20,000 to Crossroads of Michigan, which together point to a mix of education, arts, and direct assistance. The foundation also returned to Forgotten Harvest in three consecutive years, and it supported Women’s Resource Center, Salvation Army of Wilmington, Horizons-Upward Bound Cranbrook, and Cranbrook Academy of Art more than once across the recent record. That mix suggests a funder that combines unrestricted or flexible support with targeted help for organizations whose work can be evaluated on the ground. Its stated program areas include human services, environmental conservation, education, and humanities, and the grants reflect those interests in practice. The pattern is not broad national dispersion; instead, the foundation appears to favor regional nonprofit partners, especially in Michigan, with a secondary presence in North Carolina. The record also includes direct aid and service organizations in food assistance, shelter, health care, and educational support, indicating a portfolio built around practical community needs rather than a single issue area.

    What Clannad Foundation Funds

    In human services, Clannad Foundation has funded food access, shelter, and crisis response organizations, including $10,000 to Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and $5,000 to Domestic Violence Shelter of Wilmington for human services work. The recent record also includes repeated support for community providers such as Crossroads of Michigan and Cots, both in Detroit. Education is another clear line of giving. The foundation awarded $25,000 to Cranbrook Educational Community (Japanese Garden) and $5,000 grants to Horizons-Upward Bound Cranbrook and Cranbrook Academy of Art, signaling interest in educational and cultural institutions tied to Bloomfield Hills. The foundation also supports health and related services. Doctors Without Borders received $5,000 in both 2023 and 2025, while the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne received $5,000 in 2025. Environmental and humanities interests are listed in the foundation’s program areas and appear in the broader grant structure.
