We are a family foundation based in southeast Michigan and proud to honor the legacy of Fred and Barbara Erb, who were deeply dedicated to their community. Their shared values inspired the work of the Foundation, which started in 2009. Since then, we've made grants totaling over $180 million to initiatives that improve the health of the Great Lakes, strengthen the region's arts and cultural organizations, advance Alzheimer's research, promote sustainable business, and protect democracy.

In 2022, we made the bold decision to spenddown all our assets and conclude our grantmaking by 2034. In our final decade we remain committed to supporting the leaders and organizations who are shaping a more sustainable and culturally vibrant future for Southeast Michigan and the Great Lakes region.
