Investing in Kent County Students and Families
We partner with organizations across Kent County to strengthen public education and help families thrive.
Who We Are
A community where everyone's brilliance can shine.
The Steelcase Foundation is a private foundation based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We collaborate with people and organizations working to build a community where all people can participate, grow, and flourish.
We believe in public education. We believe students do better when their families are doing well. And we believe lasting change happens when communities have the power to shape the systems that affect them.
