We help communities and causes

  • Healthy Food Initiatives like the North Flint Food Market, a co-operative which is empowering the residents of North Flint to own their food-access destiny and creating jobs
  • Educational organizations like the Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD) where we supplemented their development team to bring in local, state, and federal grants to fund new county-wide programs like school safety and social-emotional wellbeing
  • Non-profits that serve large cities like Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice, which has designated fund development staff
  • Organizations that support a cause, not necessarily a place, like Beacon Tree, which helps families pay for mental health services for children
  • Colleges and Universities like Kettering University that have sophisticated development departments – we supplemented their work to fund revitalization in the local community

Municipalities

  • Local governments like the City of Flint, Michigan, Fenton Township, Michigan, and Lancaster, Ohio, that apply for and receive federal grants with consortiums of community partners including non-profits and foundations
  • County governments which are also eligible for state and federal grants

Funders

  • Philanthropic foundations like the CS Mott Foundation that look for expertise to
    – evaluate best practices in their priority areas
    – build the capacity of their grantees
    – help their grantees work together collaboratively
  • Businesses giving through corporate foundations and sponsorships that are looking for local partners and opportunities to have a greater impact in their community
  • Government agencies that want to build the capacity of both their grantees and those who are eligible for their programs
  • Intermediaries like the United Way and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) that both receive public and private funds and then re-grant money to others
