Be A Part of Something Great!
The Community Foundation of Greater Rochester supports local organizations across Rochester Hills and Rochester. Our benefactors include green spaces, non-profit organizations, community outreach programs, and more.


Over the years, the Women's Fund has consistently given to the Assistance League of SE MI in support of Assault Survivor Kits. Any time a woman goes to the hospital as the result of reporting an assault, her clothes become evidence. Each Assault Survivor kit provides new clothing and toiletries for survivors of abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault.
