Crain's Detroit Business, March 24, 2025 - Advancing Macomb has launched a “boot camp” program aimed at strengthening nonprofit capacity in Macomb County. With stronger operations, nonprofits will be more likely to attract funding for programs and services, something that’s lacking in the county compared with other parts of Southeast Michigan, according to a report from the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy at Grand Valley State University. “It’s about strengthening the nonprofit sector in Macomb County,” said Phil Gilchrist, executive director of Advancing Macomb.
