The GABA Foundation Endowment
Built to last. Beyond our lifetime.
Some investments pay a return. This one pays a future. The GABA Foundation Endowment makes sure the research, programs, and community we build today are still here for the generations that follow.
Why an Endowment
The community doesn't pause. Neither can we.
The families we serve don't stop needing us when a grant cycle ends. The entrepreneurs we coach don't stop building when funding runs short. And the questions our community needs answered don't wait for the next budget.
An endowment changes that. It gives GABA a permanent source of support that grows over time, so our research and programs are always funded, always present, and always available to the people who need them most.
The first generation plants the seed. The second tends it. The third lives in the shade. This endowment is built for all three.
How It Works
Your gift is invested. Forever.
The GABA Foundation Endowment is a permanent agency endowment held and invested by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, one of the region's most trusted philanthropic institutions.
What Your Gift Makes Possible
Not just to serve. To stay.
Evidence that lasts
Sustained community research on Black immigrants and the diaspora in Michigan, so every program starts with what our families actually need.
Sustainable services
GABA Access, GABAWorks, GABAGives, and every program we build next, backed by funding that doesn't disappear when a grant ends.
A permanent home
A home base that never closes and a trusted voice that never goes quiet. A place our community can always call when they need someone in their corner.
Since 2014
This community deserves to last.
For more than a decade, we've built something our community never had before: a trusted voice, a seat at the tables that matter, and the research to back it up. The endowment is our promise that it stays. When you give, you aren't just writing a check. You're writing a chapter in a story that will outlast all of us.
Make Your Gift
Invest in forever.
Every gift, of any size, becomes part of something permanent. The principal is never spent; only the earnings support GABA's work, year after year.
The fund is held by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, which manages more than 250 nonprofit endowments across the region.
