About this grant
This general purpose grant to the Michigan Nonprofit Association will allow it to continue its mission to strengthen the nonprofit sector in Michigan and its work in the areas of public policy, civic engagement and education, and capacity building.

During the grant period, the grantee will continue research, advocacy, and education on public policy issues; work with its partners to promote local- and state-level civic engagement strategies for volunteer centers, nonprofits, and K-12 and higher education institutions; and deliver statewide capacity building programs, as well as work with identified organizations on strategic local and regional capacity building.
