MCR is a proud leader and partner in many initiatives that promote the success of nonprofit organizations.

We are always looking for new opportunities to work with partners across sectors to achieve shared goals and help nonprofits achieve their missions.

NONPROFIT PARTNERS

MCR works in partnership with other organizations that operate in the intermediary space and provide capacity building services to other nonprofit organizations.

THESE PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE:

• Building a Network – A partnership between Michigan Community Resources, Michigan Nonprofit Association, University of Michigan School of Social Work, and Nonprofit Enterprise at Work to identify systemic barriers to the success of nonprofit organizations in Southeast Michigan
• Co.act Detroit – A new hub for accelerating collaborative action in Southeast Michigan’s nonprofit community 
• Building the Engine of Community Development in Detroit – A citywide process to strengthen neighborhoods by building a coordinated, equitable system for community development work in Detroit

CORPORATE PARTNERS

MCR partners with corporations and individual specialized volunteers from the corporate sector in order to multiply the impact of our services to nonprofit organizations.

Following the model perfected over the last 20 years of leveraging support from attorneys and firms, in 2019, MCR will begin partnering more intentionally with corporations to leverage pro bono and low-cost professional services provided by specialized volunteers to benefit MCR’s nonprofit clients.

This work is made possible by the generous support of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan.

PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERS

Breaking the mold of the traditional funder-grantee relationship, MCR is honored to be part of several exciting partnerships with philanthropic partners that allow us to meet the needs of Michigan nonprofit organizations in new and exciting ways.

THESE PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE:

• Kresge Foundation – Capacity building services for Kresge Innovative Projects: Detroit (KIP:D) grantees
• Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation – Nonprofit ecosystem work
