The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation has awarded $1.5 million for a fund to support capacity building for nonprofit organizations.
Allandra Bulger, executive director of Co.act Detroit announced the $1.5 million Activate Fund last week.
Co.act is a nonprofit hub dedicated to accelerating collaborative action in Southeast Michigan’s nonprofit community.
The journey to Co.act Detroit began in 2016 when the RCWJF began extensive research to understand the gaps and needs among the region’s nonprofits.
The RCWJF explored collaborative national models and partnered with TechTown Detroit, the Michigan Nonprofit Association and Michigan Community Resources to develop and launch the concept.
Co.act Detroit opened its doors this year, sharing a space with the RCWJF in downtown Detroit.
As for next steps for the Activate Fund, Co.act will be sharing more information in the coming months about the development of the program and how those funds will be distributed in the community.
You can learn more about Co.act’s model and work as Bulger joins us for a breakout session at CMF’s 47th Annual Conference, October 6-8 in Traverse City.
