Established in 2008, the Grosse Pointe Woods Foundation functions as an independent organization committed to new civic projects designed to enhance and enrich the lives of those who work and live in our great community. We are dependent upon donations, bequests, grants and fundraising activities to achieve our goal - to serve present and future residents of Grosse Pointe Woods by raising funds and using them for the betterment of our city.

Please consider supporting the Grosse Pointe Woods Foundation. Your patronage will enable the Foundation to support activities aimed at preserving the quality of life in Grosse Pointe Woods. Our city offers treasured recreational facilities like Ghesquiere Park and Lakefront Park, which are vibrant spaces enjoyed by many community groups- from seniors walking along the trails, to families enjoying picnics along the lakefront, to hundreds of children participating in Little League or swimming lessons. The Grosse Pointe Woods Foundation is planning projects which include improvements to these community landmarks as well as other potential beautification projects in the business district.

In the other Pointes, foundations have embarked upon improvement projects such as gardens, decorative signage, Lake Shore Road boulevard sprinklers, the Village clock arch, a splash pad in the Farms, and the movie theater and putting green in Grosse Pointe Park. We hope that with your help, the new Grosse Pointe Woods Foundation will be as successful implementing enhancement projects in the city of Grosse Pointe Woods.

Why support the Foundation? Our goal is to enrich, not replace, traditional tax-based support for civic projects through tax-deductible gifts, grants and bequests from individuals and organizations. Our mission, vision and values reflect our commitment to serving our vibrant business districts and residential community. We believe that our support of the Grosse Pointe Woods community is a worthwhile endeavor. We hope you share our belief.
