SUMMARY:Is Chapter 11 an option for your nonprofit?: The nuts and bolts of reorganizing
DESCRIPTION:As revenues plummet due to the coronavirus pandemic\, decisions regarding the future of a nonprofit’s existence are weighing heavy on the minds of many Michigan nonprofit leaders and board members. One option worth considering is a financial reorganization like the one the YMCA of Marquette County accomplished in 2017–18. \nThis webinar will feature legal experts\, including the attorney who represented the YMCA of Marquette County in its successful Chapter 11 reorganization. The goal will be to familiarize participants with the reorganization process both within and outside the context of a Chapter 11 proceeding so that they may be knowledgeable should their organization choose to further pursue this option. \nSponsored by Co.act Detroit\, Michigan Nonprofit Association\, Michigan Community Resources and Council of Michigan Foundations \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:United Way for Southeastern Michigan and University of Michigan Poverty Solutions' The Financial Well-Being of Detroit Residents: What Do We Know? Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Please join United Way for Southeastern Michigan and University of Michigan Poverty Solutions on Friday\, Jan. 22 from 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. for a virtual convening to discuss the findings and opportunities from a new research report: The Financial Well-Being of Detroit Residents: What Do We Know? \n\nMore than half of Detroiters are financially insecure or in financial trouble. This new report unpacks the reasons why. A combination of low and volatile incomes and disproportionately high costs make it challenging for tens of thousands of Detroiters to maintain consistently positive cash flow and build savings\, leading many households to accrue unmanageable debt and suffer low credit scores. These conditions leave the average Detroiter particularly vulnerable to financial shocks – more so than in suburban towns and peer cities. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic repercussions have made it even more difficult for Detroiters already living on the margins to consistently make ends meet.\nBut there are reasons for hope. This virtual event will present key findings from the report and kick off a series of community conversations around opportunities for action to address the underlying conditions that create financial instability and hardship for so many Detroiters.\nIn this event and in the community conversations that will follow\, they are seeking to engage a broad range of stakeholders – frontline staff\, agency leaders\, academics\, financial institutions\, policymakers\, funders\, individuals with lived experience of financial hardship\, and general members of the community. Please join them.\nConfirmed speakers include:\n\nDr. Darienne Driver Hudson\, Ed.D.\, CEO\, United Way for Southeastern Michigan\nDr. H. Luke Shaefer\, Ph.D.\, Director\, University of Michigan Poverty Solutions and Hermann and Amalie Kohn Professor of Social Justice and Social Policy\nBryan VanDorn\, Manager of Health & Basic Needs\, United Way for Southeastern Michigan\nMegan Thibos\, Director of Economic Mobility Initiatives\, United Way for Southeastern Michigan\nAfton Branche-Wilson\, Assistant Director of Community Initiatives\, University of Michigan Poverty Solutions\nCommunity residents with experience of financial hardship\n\n\nRegister Here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cV0WIqfQQEe0s4Ev1pfFFA
