Growing Opportunity for Michigan Students
The SET SEG Foundation was built on the belief that public school students across Michigan deserve every opportunity to grow, lead, and succeed. As we look to the future, our focus remains the same, but our vision is expanding.
A Vision for the Next Decade
While the Foundation has traditionally focused on high school and elementary students, we’ve identified a key gap: middle schoolers. These students are at a crucial stage as they begin exploring who they are and where they’re headed, yet often lack targeted support. The Foundation is working to change that. By expanding programs for middle school students, we aim to help them build leadership skills, explore career paths, and grow confidence that will carry into high school and beyond.
Another area of focus is increasing opportunity in urban school districts, where students may face greater barriers to resources and support. The Foundation is committed to partnering with educators and community leaders to bring existing programs, and new ones, to more schools in Michigan’s urban centers.
The Path Forward
We know that the challenges facing public schools and students are real, but so are the opportunities. With the support of our donor community, we can continue to build a Foundation that responds, adapts, and leads with purpose.
Our strategy for the coming years includes increased donor outreach and deeper engagement with school leaders to understand emerging needs. Every step we take is designed to create greater impact for the people who matter most: students.
