Conversations about investing often center funders and those with financial power. When we reframe the conversation to include nonprofit employees, consultants, organizers, social justice advocates, and community residents, we open the way for transformative possibilities.
Join Michigan Community Resources and Co.act Detroit for this year’s annual Detroit Capacity Building Forum, where we’ll:
- explore how our ecosystem can invest differently in organizations, ideas, and people
- honor those working to create more equitable funding landscapes
- create a playbook that redefines investing and guides movements now and for the future
