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

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.
