A shared goal is a starting point. Making progress takes people willing to work through the details together.

Who needs to be involved? Where could funding come from? How will we know the work is making a difference?

Connect Detroit helps community partners answer those questions and build the relationships that keep the work moving.

Since 2001, weā€™ve helped mobilize more than $150 million to support community initiatives. Behind that number are organizations putting shared resources to work for Detroit.

Detroit has people who care deeply about their neighborhoods and organizations working every day to make a difference. Connecting that commitment to resources helps move good ideas into action.

Thatā€™s the work of Connect Detroit. We bring nonprofits and government partners together to address local needs and help secure funding to move their work forward.

A young person can have a clear vision for their future and still need help finding a way to get there. Making those connections is central to our work at Connect Detroit.

On October 27, our Interim President & CEO Shuna K. Hayward will moderate ā€œInvesting in Detroit Youth, Building Our Futureā€ at Detroit Future Cityā€™s Detroit Future Careers: Reimagining Career Pathways for Youth Success.

Shuna will join panelists Dr. Sharon Hopkins of Detroit Public Schools Community District, Laila Bell of The Skillman Foundation and Chancellor Juan Salgado of City Colleges of Chicago to discuss how we can help more young people move from education into careers that offer financial stability and room to grow.

Join us for a conversation grounded in young peopleā€™s aspirations and the support they need to pursue them.

The right board can change what is possible for a nonprofit.

Engaged board members protect the mission and bring valuable perspective to important decisions. They understand the financial picture, ask informed questions and use their connections thoughtfully.

When a board knows its role and works well with leadership, the entire organization is stronger.

In a city that gave the world Motown, techno, and countless other artistic movements, too many Detroit children still grow up without access to art or music education. A new citywide initiative hopes to change that. The Detroit Partnership for Arts Education (DPAE) launched this year and brings toge...

Connect Detroit Interim President & CEO Shuna Hayward joined Board Chair Kim Trent at the Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michiganā€™s Tough Enough Breakfast, a meaningful morning for Shuna as a former Girl Scout!

Congratulations to honorees Stacy Fox, Tiffany J. Gunter, Mary Kramer and Kate Levin Markel. Their conversation reinforced why empowering and uplifting young women matters. When we listen to their ideas and create opportunities for them to lead, we help them build confidence to pursue their ambitions.

Shuna left inspired to continue this work through Connect Detroit and help more young women see whatā€™s possible for their futures.

An exciting opportunity could wind up taking a nonprofit in the wrong direction.

Before pursuing a grant or partnership, leaders need to consider the impact on staff capacity and existing commitments. The funding may be appealing, but the work still needs to advance the mission.

Saying no can be an act of good stewardship. It protects the organizationā€™s focus and leaves room for opportunities that truly fit.
