The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation and United Way of Washtenaw County are looking to provide capacity building opportunities for organizations doing racial equity/social justice work through access to consultants via the Catchafire platform.

Eligibility:  Organizations that meet the following criteria

• Nonprofit human service organizations OR community based organizations including those without a 501(c)(3) status that serve Washtenaw County residents
• Organizations currently or looking to get engaged in racial equity/social justice work in Washtenaw County
• Organization must attend an information session on 11/23, 12/1, or 12/8 (sign up below) 

Information Session Sign Up

Additional Consideration:

• Agency annual operating budget of $500K or smaller
• Based in and operating in Washtenaw County for 10 years or less
• Led by a BIPOC individual

1. This would be a first come first served opportunity where organizations opt in as opposed to being assigned. 
2. Organizations attend an information session facilitated by AAACF, UWWC, and Catchafire to support awareness and expectations related to the opportunity to be eligible for selection.
3. Selection would be based upon an organization’s responses to the application, with decisions being made by key staff at AAACF and UWWC.
