Where have we been?

Where have we been?

Where are we now?

Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3

Phase 1 (2016)

We recruited stakeholders to analyze the problem, created a beginning set of system elements, and began considering a framework for a Detroit community development system.

Phase 2 (2017-2018)

We formed an Advisory Council, conducted extensive research resulting in a specific set of challenges and created Task Forces to respond to those challenges and develop test-projects for most of the elements.

Phase 3 (2019-2020)

Stakeholders will champion elements of the system, working closely with CDOs and GROs, by “test-piloting” project ideas:

  • Coordination of Capacity Building Services
  • Community Development Career Navigation Model
  • Neighborhood Vitality Success Framework
  • Neighborhood Voice and Advocacy Framework
  • At least two city-CDO funded partnerships

Simultaneously we will:

  • Activate the System Capitalization element
  • Establish a governance/oversight structure
  • Develop a process to resolve CDO coverage for all neighborhoods

New Report and Webinar from Building Movement Project — On the Frontlines: Nonprofits Led by People of Color Confront COVID-19 and Structural Racism

October 8, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

On the Frontlines: Nonprofits Led by People of Color Confront COVID-19 and Structural Racism

We’re just at the beginning. The bumpy part has yet to happen.”

I can’t even foresee the breadth and depth of the continued suffering at the community level.”

When we get out of this, six months later, a huge disproportionate number of leaders of color will disappear from this work because of the burnout.”

These reflections from people of color (POC) who lead nonprofits are part of a new report being released today by the Building Movement Project and SolidarityIs. Our national report, On the Frontlines: Nonprofits Led by People of Color Confront COVID-19 and Structural Racism, is based on an online survey of 433 executive directors and one-on-one interviews with 41 leaders.

Building Movement Project’s report makes five key findings with one overarching message: it is clear that there will be no return to normalcy in the wake of the pandemic, economic instability, and the national uprisings to address anti-Black racism. Leaders of color are concerned that the crisis will get worse in the months ahead as their organizations adapt programs and activities to make up for government gaps. At the same time, POC leaders are motivated by the uprisings and the possibility of meaningful systemic change.

Watch video testimonials from POC leaders about the report findings here.

Building Movement Project is grateful to the many executive directors who shared their experiences with them, and are inspired by their commitment to their organizations and communities. They encourage you to read and share the report, use the recommendations, and attend their October 20th webinar.
