Creating a Lasting Impact: MAF’s 2026 Annual Appeal Campaign

10/01/2026

For more than five decades, the Michigan Architectural Foundation has provided grant support and free programming that creatively connects people and architecture. This would not be possible without support from MAF’s generous donors.

During October, November, and December, MAF is conducting its Annual Appeal Campaign, a drive to encourage contributions to support and grow MAF’s grants and endowment funds. Your tax-deductible gift has a significant impact in helping communities throughout Michigan understand and appreciate how architecture enriches lives.

All contributions will benefit various MAF grants and programs such as the Evans Graham Historic Preservation Grant, MAF’s Scholarship Program (for architecture students in Michigan’s five colleges of architecture), Education Awareness Grants, Damian Farrell Architecture Awareness Grants, Fellows Fund for Equity Grant, and architecture programs and resources for K-12 students.
