Generous support through the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has allowed Michigan’s Children to redouble our efforts to raise public and policy-maker awareness of race and ethnic disparities in outcomes for children, youth and their families; increase commitment around the state to the importance of equal opportunity for all Michigan children; and develop and support public policy solutions to current inequities.  Through  the Race Matters project, Michigan’s Children will also be increasing civic engagement in state budget and public policy debates, with a focus on advocacy in communities  most impacted by policy decisions.
