About Michigan Community Resources:

Michigan Community Resources (MCR) is a statewide nonprofit organization that seeks to build strong communities through strong organizations, strong leaders, and a strong nonprofit network. Since 1998, we have equipped nonprofit organizations serving income-diverse communities with the tools, resources, training, and consulting they need to do their best work.

Systems Transformation at MCR:

MCR's understanding of capacity building has been informed by engagement with nonprofits, intermediaries, other stakeholders, and national benchmarking research that led to the creation of Building a Network: Recommendations for Redefining Capacity Building in Southeast Michigan This report articulated a vision for thriving Southeast Michigan communities anchored by thriving nonprofits. To realize the vision, capacity building must also encompass transforming the norms, practices, and attitudes (i.e. the system) that prevent nonprofits, as well as the communities and constituencies they serve, from thriving. Systems transformation is the guiding principle across each of MCR's programs.

We are acting on these principles through a variety of programs and initiatives.
