act Detroit and The Skillman Foundation announce the inaugural grantees of the WELL Fund, a grant program created to support the wellness and capacity of BIPOC-led nonprofits who serve Detroit youth (ages 5-24).
The following five organizations will receive grants of $65,000 to support general operating funding, technical assistance, capacity building and leadership development, and support for wellness activities: WELL Fund Kickoff Gathering Better Men Outreach Program “The WELL Fund stands for Wellness, Equity, Leading and Learning,” said Terry Whitfield, Partnership Manager at The Skillman Foundation.
“BIPOC-led nonprofits receive less funding though they are often more ingrained and attuned to the communities they serve. Our goal was to create a fund specifically to support the leaders of these organizations. We worked collaboratively with Detroit youth and their allies to shape what that opportunity should look like.
” In partnership with The Skillman Foundation, Co. act Detroit convened an advisory group that designed the program, including setting eligibility and grant requirements, and arranging additional support for grantees.
Representatives from the Black Executive Directors Alliance of Detroit, Community Development Advocates of Detroit, the Youth Development Resource Center, the Transforming Power Fund as well as Detroit youth made up the advisory group. “The program is unique in terms of funding nonprofit wellbeing and sharing power with youth to decide who receives grants,” said Asia Blaney, grants program manager at Co. act Detroit.
“But what also sets it apart is how youth were involved in the design of the program from the beginning, and how their recommendations influenced how we structured the awards. ” A diverse and representative committee of Detroit youth, Co. act and Skillman staff, and other community stakeholders made up the selection committee, with youth comprising a 51% majority.
The committee reviewed applications and made recommendations for grant awards. In addition to the five organizations awarded WELL Fund grants, the selection committee decided to award 4 organizations Committee Wellness stipends of $12,500 each. Those organizations are: The Color of Autism Foundation ; 1 Michigan for the Global Majority ; Encourage Me I’m Young Inc. ; and Motor City STEAM Foundation.
