Q: Why do you work in community advancement?
Everyone deserves to live somewhere they can lead a safe and healthy life. I want to help local leaders access resources to build stronger, more connected communities that can provide residents with that opportunity. I like that MI Funding Hub offers an accessible database, technical assistance, and one-on-one work with municipalities.
Q: What is one thing you wish communities seeking funding knew?
I wish they knew the value in leveraging partnerships both as they apply for grants and carry out the program. Michigan is full of so many great community organizations and nonprofits that cities and townships can work with to expand their capacity. Sharing the time burden with these groups helps communities get what they’re looking for out of the funding they’re seeking.
