This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2026. See the about page for more details.

| Knight Foundation | 750,000.00 | 8 | -- | Communities, Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/5626 | -- | Grant period: 10/01/2012 - 09/30/2017; goal: To support cross-cultural understanding through a forum that focuses on the role of arts in building and engaging communities. The Arab American National Museum, the only one if its kind in the United States, uses arts and culture to break down racial and ethnic barriers in Southeast Michigan. The museum produces Detroit’s annual Concert of Colors, a free festival of world music, which once included a forum on “Community, Race and Culture” that explored the role of arts in building and engaging communities. Knight funding will restore the forum and help rebuild the Cultural Exchange Network of 50 arts organizations that originally facilitated the Concert of Colors. The Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan will create the Knight Detroit Community Building Arts Fund, to support the Arab American National Museum's arts programming promoting tolerance and diverse cultures. |
| Knight Foundation | 2,250,000.00 | 4 | -- | Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/5628 | -- | Grant period: 10/01/2012 - 09/30/2017; part of the challenge: Knight Arts Challenge 2019; goal: To experiment with new programs that will take the institute’s world-class art collection out of the museum and into the community As museums seek meaningful ways to engage with the public, the Detroit Institute of Arts found a winning model with its Inside|Out program, which brings high-quality reproductions of masterpieces from the museum’s collection to the streets and parks of metro Detroit. The program, which recently completed its third year and is sponsored by Knight Foundation, has fostered concerts, poetry readings, talks, tours and art installations, as well as a sense of pride in the community and ownership of the museum. Now the institute wants to build on that success by experimenting with a range of programs to inspire creativity, knowledge of art and the museum’s collection, and a dialogue about local arts and culture. The Community Foundation of Southeastern Michigan will create the Knight Detroit Museum Fund, in support of increased community engagement using new models at the Detroit Institute of Arts, to take the art out of the museum and into the community. |
| Knight Foundation | 1,000,000.00 | 6 | -- | Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/5619 | -- | Grant period: 10/01/2012 - 09/30/2017; part of the challenge: Knight Arts Challenge 2019; goal: To support the development of young musicians of color through Detroit’s annual Sphinx Competition The annual Sphinx Competition seeks to increase diversity on concert stages by providing new opportunities to young Black and Latino string players. The annual competition identifies, recognizes, rewards and nurtures young and talented musicians of color by providing 18 musicians the opportunity to compete and perform live on stage before audiences and judges for prizes and performance opportunities. Since 1998, the competition has aided and developed more than 200 young classical musicians of color, clearly demonstrating the incredible diversity of talent and artistic excellence that exists within Black and Latino communities. Knight Foundation’s funding will support all aspects and activities of the Sphinx Competition, including the Competition's Honor and Final concert performances that reach over 3,000 in live audiences and 2 million in broadcast audiences annually. The Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan will create the Knight Detroit Young Musicians of Color Fund, in support of the artistic and professional development of young musicians of color through Detroit's annual Sphinx Competition. |

The “GreenSpace” project will bring together all the available information on the topic – benefiting anyone from a family searching for a place to hike or bike, to a resident advocating for more parks and recreation and a government official developing land use policy. The hub will encourage users to contribute content and share links to information, helping to nurture leadership and action on important issues.
