On June 11, 2024, the Gordie Howe International Bridge team announced the distribution of $200,000 (CDN) as part of the project Community Benefits Plan to fund 13 exciting and versatile projects – seven in Windsor and six in Detroit.
The Community Organization Investment, an initiative under the Community Benefits Plan, is a five-year annual investment allowance with $100,000 (CDN) available in Canada and the US respectively, that is available to registered non-profit or charitable organizations located in or serving residents in Sandwich/west Windsor and Delray/Southwest Detroit. The funds support events, programming and infrastructure improvements that will benefit the communities and align with one of the community investment priorities, including community partnerships, community safety and connections, economic benefits, and/or aesthetics and landscaping.
