Our relationships power our work. By remaining close to nonprofit and community leaders we can leverage our network to better support their work. Our grassroots connections means that when we work with funders, we can deepen the impact of their initiatives and investments because we know what the problems look like from the perspective of those facing them. In this video from our 2023 Annual Report, we discuss how our history and connections, as well as our focus on equity, lets us bridge the gaps in the ecosystem. https://hubs.li/Q02XPpJx0

Client Spotlight: Women of Banglatown We've served WOB through multiple KIP:D+ grant cycles, and we were excited to see them celebrate their 10-year anniversary last week. They've done, and continue to do, important work strengthening the Banglatown arts community, as well as supporting immigrant and first-generation women in Detroit and Hamtramck. Congratulations on a decade!
