Fisher Foundation
Supports Detroit Youth

Living Arts, a Detroit nonprofit
bringing year-round arts education
to the city’s youth, has received a
$150,000 grant from the Max M.
& Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation
(Fisher Foundation). The funds will
be used during the next five years
to develop organizational capaci-
ties to support a program portfolio
that has increased significantly
since 2008 and exponentially since
2013.
Grant activities will ensure that
Living Arts is able to continue its
commitment to providing trans-
formative experiences in the arts
to nearly 3,000 Detroit area youth,
families and educators annually.
“This major grant from the Fisher
Foundation is giving Living Arts
the means to boost critical organi-

zational capacities so that we can
sustain the quality and scale of ser-
vices we have developed in recent
years,” said Alissa Novoselick,
Living Arts’ executive director.
“This award, like our Sustainer
Campaign, will help us continue
our work to rectify the fact that
nearly one-half of Detroit youth do
not have access to arts education.”
Living Arts launched a campaign
to make it easier for donors to sup-
port the nonprofit’s work. To help
Living Arts raise $30,000 to provide
another 100 kids in Detroit with art
education programs that give them
the tools they need to succeed in
school and life, go to
