The MI Funding Hub is a joint venture of The Michigan Municipal League and The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity.

The Community Excellence Award (CEA) is the League’s most prestigious community award This is your opportunity to highlight local success stories and best practices, and to share innovative community programs or projects on a statewide platform. Submissions are accepted based on the community wealth building principles. All submissions will be accepted online. Preliminary voting will be done by a small voting board. The top four projects selected will go on to compete at Convention, where they will present their projects on the main stage and market their projects at designated CEA finalist booths. Convention attendees will vote for their favorite project, with the project winning the most votes awarded the official Community Excellence Award during the closing general session.
