*BOARD OF TRUSTEES*

*Three long-term Kresge trustees retire from board *

Last week marked a significant turning point in The Kresge Foundation’s
governance and leadership history: Paul Hillegonds, Elaine Rosen, and Nancy
Schlichting retired as trustees after serving for 18 years each. The trio
joined Kresge’s board in 2004 and played a significant role as the
foundation transformed from a capital challenge granting institution to
strategic philanthropy.

*EDUCATION PROGRAM*
*Cowen Institute receives grant to expand college and career counseling
collaboratives *

The availability of competent, professional college and career counseling
services in schools is key to ensuring that students have the tools to
succeed in college and graduate. The Cowen Institute at Tulane University
recently received a grant from Kresge’s Education Program to support its
work to increase college access, persistence and success among New Orleans
youth. The grant will expand the New Orleans College and Career Counseling
Collaborative, College Persistence Collaborative, and the New Orleans-wide
FAFSA completion campaign.

*DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION*
*Recommended reading and podcast list for Pride Month and Immigrant
Heritage Month*

Kresge’s Anna Cruz, managing director of Strategic Learning, Research &
Evaluation, has curated a reading and podcast list that highlights queer
artists and explores gender identity, immigrant experiences, and
self-discovery. Here are her recommendations:

   - Radio Menea
   <https://thekresgefoundation.cmail20.com/t/i-l-qlkjhhd-jutudjjdjk-h/> is
   a podcast hosted by Verónica Bayetti Flores and Miriam Zoila Pérez – two
   queer Latinx friends with wildly different music tastes. Their Pride
   Month episode
   <https://thekresgefoundation.cmail20.com/t/i-l-qlkjhhd-jutudjjdjk-k/>
   highlights queer Latinx musicians and features bachata, gay rage, and
   tropical vibes.
   - I’m always finding joy and thought-provoking reflections in visual
   artist Julio Salgado’s Illegal Blog
   <https://thekresgefoundation.cmail20.com/t/i-l-qlkjhhd-jutudjjdjk-u/>.
   Salgado, an undocumented, queer, and migrant activist, offers insightful
   and witty reflections from a personal point of view.
   - Felix Ever After
   <https://thekresgefoundation.cmail20.com/t/i-l-qlkjhhd-jutudjjdjk-o/> by
   Kacen Callender is a wonderful young adult novel about a transgender teen
   grappling with identity while falling in love.
   - I recommend Prentis Hemphill's Finding Our Way podcast for those
   invested in practicing the future we want to see. This podcast is an
   exploration of ourselves and the skills we need to create and embody the
   world we want. I recommend these two episodes: Remembering
   <https://thekresgefoundation.cmail20.com/t/i-l-qlkjhhd-jutudjjdjk-b/>
    and Breaking Binaries and Intersex Justice
   <https://thekresgefoundation.cmail20.com/t/i-l-qlkjhhd-jutudjjdjk-n/>.

*SOCIAL INVESTMENT PRACTICE*
*Final chance to register for a webinar detailing the latest on ARPA,
infrastructure funding in cities *

American cities are in the process of receiving a once-in-a-generation
infusion of federal funding to help local communities recover from the
pandemic and invest in critical infrastructure. Join Kresge Senior Advisor
Lourdes German at 1 p.m. EDT this Friday to get an update on the current
federal aid packages from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Learn how cities are using
funds to achieve equitable and inclusive growth and how nonprofits can
