etroit-
born 
philan-
thropist and 
business titan 
Stephen Grand, 
possessed of a 
caring nature, 
used his bounty 
to make a difference in the 
world. 
A humble man who 
helmed two successful 
companies, Mr. Grand, 
77, of Belvedere, Calif., 
succumbed to cancer on 
March 21, 2021. 
He and his dynamic wife, 
Nancy J. Grand were a 
“power couple,” said Robert 
Aronson, former CEO of 
the Jewish Federation of 
Metropolitan Detroit. They 
moved about 15 years ago to 
the San Francisco Bay area. 
“His generosity went 
far beyond others in our 
community,” Aronson 
said, mentioning that Mr. 
Grand matched and even 
surpassed million-dollar-
donations to Federation’s 
Annual Campaign from 
philanthropists with better 
name recognition. Tamarack 
Camps was another focus of 
the Grands’ local giving.
Mr. Grand first was 
president of Deco-
Grand (formerly Grand 
Machinery), a large 
manufacturer of precision 
components and assemblies 
for diesel engines in the 
automotive industry. The 
company’s founder was 
his father, Sam Grand, an 
engineer from Odessa, 

Ukraine. 
When Stephen 
Grand sold the 
business in the early 
1980s, he “dedicated 
himself to using the 
proceeds to advance 
science,” said 
longtime friend Ed 
Levy. That was an ambition 
befitting the University of 
Michigan graduate who 
earned bachelor’s and 
master’s degrees in science.
In 1990, Mr. Grand’s 
next chapter was becoming 
president and a partner in 
Grand/Sakwa Properties, 
a major developer of 
residential and retail 
properties in Southeast 
Michigan.

AIDED MANY CAUSES
Succeeding in business 
made it possible for the 
Grands to indulge their 
generous inclination to fund 
projects and institutions 
throughout the United States 
and Israel. The Grands also 
assisted with research into 
cancer and alternative and 
renewable energy sources. 
They supported arts and 
culture, job training for the 
homeless and Jewish needs 
worldwide.
Cutting-edge biomedical 
research is conducted at the 
Nancy and Stephen Grand 
Israel National Center of 
Personalized Medicine 
at Weizmann Institute of 
Science in Rehovot, Israel. 
Other beneficiaries include 
Multiple Myeloma Research 
Foundation, headquartered
