what we do header

    We advance the missions of Michigan nonprofit organizations that serve low-income individuals and communities through pro bono and low cost legal and other professional services, organizational development, and trusted guidance.

    RESOURCE NAVIGATION & CAPACITY BUILDING

    Whether through direct consultation or tailored cohort experiences (like KIP:D+), MCR works to strengthen the nonprofit ecosystem by ensuring that organizations have access to the knowledge and resources they need to accomplish their missions.

    TRUSTED LEGAL GUIDANCE

    Our expert legal team provides Pro Bono Legal Assistance, pairing nonprofits and grassroots organizations with pro bono lawyers to address transactional legal matters and ensure nonprofit legal compliance.

    The result is more informed and equipped nonprofit leaders that are confident navigating complex systems and ready to focus on their important mission work.

    TRANSFORMING SYSTEMS TOWARD EQUITY

    Our work is driven by the belief that our communities are best served when systems are designed by and for them.

    Informed by research like 2023 Rest and Liberation Initiative Report and over 25 years of relationship building, MCR uses a racial and social equity lens to challenge systems and empower community.
