Flagship Fund
The UM Flagship Fund invests in initiatives and projects from the UM community that have the potential to translate UM's vision into action.
For UM to fully realize its vision of inclusive prosperity, we must work to amplify our strengths in areas where we have the potential for national distinction and clear differentiation. One of these areas is our commitment to a strong liberal arts foundation and a culture of service. UM is well positioned to meet our society’s need for civically engaged thinkers and leaders who can navigate the complexity of an AI-powered, politically divided, rapidly changing world.
For 2025, we invited proposals for one-year grants of up to $10,000 to foster the development of sophisticated and adaptable thinkers capable of asking enduring questions, of civic-minded problem solvers who strengthen our social fabric, and of service-oriented leaders who shape the future of our state and nation.
