A Grateful Thank You to the Nissan Foundation

We’re excited to share that the InterFaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit has been selected as a 2026 Nissan Neighbor grantee, with support for Journeys – World Religions in Metropolitan Detroit.

Journeys brings middle school students into diverse faith communities across Metro Detroit, giving them the opportunity to learn directly from their neighbors, ask questions, explore religious traditions, and build understanding across differences.

We are deeply grateful to the Nissan Foundation for believing in the power of this work and for investing in the next generation. Their partnership helps make it possible for more students to experience the diversity of our region and discover that learning about one another can be a powerful step toward building a more connected community.

Thank you, Nissan Foundation and Nissan Neighbors, for your generous support and for helping us create meaningful opportunities for students to learn, connect, and build bridges across Metro Detroit!
