Holiday Giving, Reconsidered
While the holiday season is a great time to share our love, good thoughts, and Michigan-made gifts with friends & family, choosing to make donations to charities in lieu of buying gifts could be a really great way to allocate some extra funds to non-profits that desperately need it. We talk with Rob Collier of the Council of Michigan Foundations and list some great Michigan charities!

Funding cuts leave college students and families swimming in debt
The Saginaw News reports that as state support has dropped over the last 30 years, Michigan’s 15 public universities have compensated by raising tuition, fees and room and board, adding $3,000 each semester in tuition in the last decade alone. As need rises, so has student debt.

Urban Farming and The Kings of Flint
The Kings of Flint is a documentary that features Jacky and Dora King, of King Karate. Jackie and Dora are also Master Gardeners who see farming as not only a means of self defense but also as a way to revitalize Flint. Click through to watch an excerpt of this fascinating documentary.
