Organization Name: Turkish American Cultural Association of Michigan
Organization Overview: Turkish American Cultural Association of Michigan, founded in 1972, follows the philosophy of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Turkish Republic, who stated: “Culture is the foundation of the Turkish Republic.” His view of culture encompassed the nation’s creative legacy as well as the best values of world civilization. It stressed personal and universal humanism. “Culture,” he said, ” is a basic element in being a person worthy of humanity,” and described Turkey’s ideological thrust as “a creation of patriotism blended with a lofty humanist ideal.” Thus, TACAM wants to instill this philosophy into all Turkish-Americans living in Michigan. The purpose of this association (TACAM) is to foster, promote, plan and execute programs aimed at improving the economic, social, educational, general welfare and other humanitarian activities of the Turkish community in the State of Michigan and elsewhere.

Organization Name: خدمة المجتمع الاسرة المتحدة United Community Family Services
Organization Overview: Since 1961, the Chaldean American Ladies of Charity (CALC) has continually assisted the needy families of the metro Detroit area. The CALC is a nonprofit charitable organization that operates with over 98% of donations going directly to the less fortunate. We focus our efforts on enhancing the lives of the people in our community. Our time and volunteer efforts are spent helping those in need, encouraging our youth, providing care for senior citizens, and maintaining our culture within the diverse community in which we live.
Metro Detroit’s 120,000 Chaldeans are the largest concentration outside the Middle East. The community’s growth spanning a century reflects economic, social and geopolitical factors. The majority of Chaldean Americans live in Michigan, although there are many in Illinois, Arizona, California and other countries like Australia, England and Mexico.
Although Chaldean Americans constitute the bulk of Iraqi immigrants living in the United States, they represent less than 10 percent of the population of Iraq. While the vast majority of Iraqis, are Arab Muslim, Chaldeans are Roman Catholic. They also differ from other Iraqis in that their ancestral language is not Arabic but a dialect of Aramaic, also referred to as Chaldean, Assyrian or Syriac.
The country of Chaldea was an ancient land in southern Babylonia, on the Persian Gulf near the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the Middle East. In biblical times the name was applied to all of Babylonia & Mesopotamia. It is present day Iraq.
CALC MISSION STATEMENT
We are Chaldean American women energized by working together and with others to provide help and hope to those in need.
We strive to preserve our heritage and enrich the community through awareness and advocacy, education and advice, and emotional and economic support.
Our vision is to strengthen and preserve the Chaldean family by ensuring that all generations have access to necessary resources and services.
The CALC has many volunteers that spend a substantial amount of time helping others and trying to raise funds and awareness of our mission. If you’d like to volunteer your time with the CALC, click here to fill out a volunteer information form. We appreciate your help!

Organization Name: Urban Neighborhood Initiatives (UNI)
Organization Overview: Our passion: to make urban neighborhoods vital, healthy environments that strengthen individuals and support families.
Our vision: the neighborhood is the basic building block of a successful city. In a successful city, the walking-distance neighborhood surrounds the child at every stage of development with an environment that is clean, safe, and beautiful. It is culturally diverse and stimulating. Successful adults abound as role models because they choose to stay even after their economic success allows them to live anywhere.
Our strategy: achieve a critical mass of good influences by addressing many things at the same time in the same neighborhood:
•Preschool education – building the capacity for a lifetime of success
•Youth development programs – happy, confident young people do not destroy
•Adult education – giving low income adults the skills to compete
•Community organization –people gain the means to control the future of their neighborhood
•Blight reduction – eliminate or reduce factors that encourage crime and discourage home ownership
•Infrastructure development – create parks and community centers that build community pride and support human development; rebuild alleys and streetscapes to add value to the neighborhood
•Improve housing stock – give residents access to loan and grant programs; bring in collaborators that build housing with an shared community development plan
We do this by:
•Recognizing the neighborhood as the principal client
•Being a complex organization, addressing human and community development at the same time in the same place
•Collaborating with other agencies so that many kinds of expertise address the same neighborhood in the same time frame
UNI is an organization embracing integrity, hope, compassion and diversity to strengthen individuals, support families, and build communities.
