Staff Funded Initiative Supports Diverse Organizations

Cinnaire recently joined PK Development Group and Uptown Reinvestment Corp. (URC) for a hard hat tour at the Marketplace Apartment complex in Flint, MI. The former YWCA building in downtown Flint has been demolished to make room for the Marketplace Apartments, a four-story mixed use building providing 92-units of mixed-use housing. The project will also include three retail spaces. Cinnaire provided a $9.5 million Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) investment to support the $19.5 million project.


Cinnaire Cares Generates $14,290 to Support Five Mission-Driven Organizations

Impression 5 Science Center

Serving the Greater Lansing Area

Impression 5 Science Center is a dynamic, interactive space for families to play, create, and challenge their understanding of science. Their mission is to facilitate learners in scientific exploration through hands-on exhibits and participatory educational programming. Impression 5 will use the Cinnaire Cares donation to support a construction science themed exhibit called BUILD ZONE. In Build Zone, families are challenged to construct things using different building materials. The exhibit will be designed to encourage kids to explore building concepts and real estate development from an early age.

Ele’s Place

Serving Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Flint and Lansing 

Ele’s Place is a healing center for grieving children and teens. Four branch locations support families throughout the Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Flint and Lansing areas and beyond. Each week, peer support group programs help hundreds of children and teens learn how to cope and begin to heal after the death of a parent, sibling or someone else close to them. The Cinnaire Cares donation will support sensory wall-hanging units for participants who have autism and/or would benefit from a sensory break.

Small Talk Children’s Advocacy Center

Serving Ingham and Eaton Counties

The mission of Small Talk is to provide a comfortable, child-friendly atmosphere where children receive coordinated services during the child abuse investigative process. After law enforcement receives a report of abuse, the goal is to conduct one interview by a trained professional to avoid re-victimizing a child with repeated, unnecessary interviews. The donation from Cinnaire Cares will sponsor Small Talk’s 6th Annual Auction for Advocacy: A Night to End Child Abuse. The annual event raises important funding critical to supporting Small Talk’s mission to support children and families impacted by child abuse.

Ann Arbor Women’s Group

Serving Washtenaw County

The Ann Arbor Women’s Group (A2WG) strengthens women’s sobriety through fun and informative events, workshops and retreats. They help women in recovery connect with other recovering women in Washtenaw County, Michigan. They are not a rehab, detox or transitional housing organization. A2WG is a non-profit group that creates opportunities for women recovering from alcohol and drug addiction to develop and maintain a healthy, sober lifestyle. The donation from Cinnaire Cares will go towards supporting their general activities.

Girls Inc. of Delaware 

Serving the State of Delaware

Girls Inc. of Delaware (GIDE) is a statewide non-profit organization whose mission is, “to inspire all girls to be strong, smart and bold.” Their research-based programs provide girls with life-changing experiences and real solutions to the unique issues they face. GIDE gives girls the right tools and support to succeed, including trained professionals who mentor and guide them in a safe, girls-only environment alongside peers who share their drive and aspirations. The Cinnaire Cares donation will be used to support programming for girls who attend GIDE’s after school and Girl Power summer camp.
