SUMMARY:DETROIT PARKS COALITION  COALITION LEADER  Job Posting
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Parks Coalition (DPC) is an alliance of organizations that connect Detroiters to beautiful and healthy natural areas\, parks\, and public spaces. We support a network of individuals and organizational park stewards through advocacy\, learning\, services\, and partnership. DPC includes representatives from nine major leading parks stewardship organizations\, covering 18 Detroit parks. We work collaboratively under a memorandum of understanding\, hold regular meetings for all partnership and establish committees as needed or for specific purposes. Members include Belle Isle Conservancy\, Chandler Park Conservancy\, Clark Park Coalition\, Detroit Riverfront Conservancy\, Downtown Detroit Partnership with six parks under management\, Friends of Patton Park\, Friends of Rouge Park\, Midtown Detroit\, Inc. with five parks under management\, People for Palmer Park\, Sidewalk Detroit supporting Eliza Howell Park\, and three at-large individual members. (Please see attached links to our Fall 2021 Coalition Newsletter and Crains Detroit Business front-page article in the October 18\, 2021 edition.)\n\nThe Coalition was formed in 2019 to advance parks organizations’ desire to share learning and expand limited resources. Since then\, it has doubled its membership and developed a strong relationship with the City of Detroit and nascent partnerships with other key municipal entities including the Huron-Clinton Metroparks Authority\, Wayne County and the State of Michigan.\n\nDPC has received initial funding for an 18-month pilot with a lean staff to formalize governance\, operations\, vision\, and values and continue developing programming and partnerships. This Coalition Leader position is the first to be hired\, and while the initial tenure will be on a contractual basis for the first 18 months\, we are confident of\, and committed to\, using the initial period to secure long-term resources for this key position to continue in a long-term role.\n\nPlease email cover letter and resumes to Alex Allen at aallen@chandlerparkconservancy.org by November 14th\, 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here for more information

SUMMARY:CEDAM Updates
DESCRIPTION:ACTION ALERT: \nPresident Biden\, congressional members consider deep cuts to housing in ​‘Build Back Better Act’ \nPresident Biden and congressional leadership are negotiating deep cuts to the ​“Build Back Better Act” and considering gutting housing funding from $327 billion to $100 billion or less - squandering this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to end homelessness and put our nation on a path to housing stability and equity for all. \nPlease help protect these essential and targeted investments: \n\n$90 billion to expand rental assistance to 1 million of the lowest-income households; \n$80 billion to repair and preserve public housing for over 2.5 million renters; and\n$37 billion for the national Housing Trust to build and preserve 330\,000 rental homes affordable to people with the lowest incomes.\n\nAny cuts to funding for these priority programs means fewer people safely and affordably housed. \nTake Action NOW: \n\nContact your senators and representative TODAY and urge them to call President Biden\, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\, and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer to urge that any cuts to the Build Back Better Act aren’t made at the expense of housing our country’s lowest-income and most marginalized people. \n\nJoin more than 1\,700 organizations nationwide by signing the HoUSed campaign letter. Sign on to the letter here.

SUMMARY:NEW DETROIT'S Leadership Series on R.A.C.E. and Other Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:You may read more about the program and register here.\n\nNew Detroit Forms Ad Hoc Voting Rights Committee \nA package of bills is currently making its way through the Michigan State Senate that will make it more difficult for Michigan residents to vote. \nMore than 5\,568\,000 citizens voted in the 2020 presidential election. Ten separate lawsuits were filed in Michigan challenging election procedures or results.  Every one of them was dismissed as groundless.  Yet somehow\, members of the state legislature believe that these needless proposals targeting communities of color will improve Michigan elections.  New Detroit thinks differently. \nA new Ad Hoc Committee on Voting Rights formed by New Detroit board members is pledging to lift its voice and encourage others to speak out against these proposals.  They initiated their effort with the following statement: \n“The vote is precious.  It is almost sacred.  It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have in a democracy.” \n\nCongressman John Lewis\n\nNew Detroit is built on the idea of collaboration.  We work for racial understanding and equity.  That work engages people of all races\, faiths\, ages and genders.  But our voting rights are in jeopardy\, especially among communities of color.  Our Democracy is endangered. The Ad Hoc Committee will be issuing a complete statement later this month. \nImportant Efforts in the Fight for Equity\nWe believe data and education are critical to change hearts and minds as an important step towards dismantling racism\, and that it will take the efforts of many to advance this work. To that end\, from time to time we will share opportunities presented by our partners. This month we encourage you to consider\n\n\nRecommend a young adult to join City Year as a Corp Member to provide academic and social emotional support for students in grades 3–9.  Corps Members receive a stipend\, health insurance\, and a $6000+ scholarship.

I couldn’t have imagined how transformational this opportunity would be for me on a personal level as well. \n \n\nOver a 6‑month period\, L’Orèal McCollum and Dr. Michael Chan-Frazier LPC of BEAM led us through training sessions exploring a range of topics surrounding trauma\, mental health and healing within the Black community. My colleague and I admired how BEAM helped create a supportive and brave space every time we connected through Zoom. \n \n\nBefore diving into tough conversations\, I loved how BEAM would start off each session with The Feeling Wheel. What I love about this tool is how it challenged me to intentionally take a pause and conduct a body scan to identify what feelings were showing up in my body. \n \n\nAs nonprofit professionals\, it’s easy for us to get caught up in the motions of working at a rapid pace that we forget to slow down.

SUMMARY:2021 Knight Diversity of Asset Managers (KDAM) Research Series: Philanthropy 
DESCRIPTION:The Knight Foundation released the latest in a series of studies that examine the diversity – or lack thereof – of U.S. asset managers handling endowments of the country’s top 55 charitable foundations. The study\, 2021 Knight Diversity of Asset Managers (KDAM) Research Series: Philanthropy shows modest progress and a huge opportunity for philanthropy to do better. \nThe study was completed in partnership with Global Economics Group. It updates our previous efforts and reports that: \n\n30 of the nation’s 55 top charitable foundations invest a total of $11.07 billion (16.6% or $1 out of every $6) of their U.S.-based financial assets with diverse-owned firms. We are unable to determine the manager mix of the other 25 foundations because they declined to disclose their data.\nFive new foundations participated in this year’s study.\nFoundations that participated in both studies demonstrated a gradually increasing assets with diverse-owned firms\, increasing their investments by 1 percentage point\, or $1.37 billion in additional assets.\n\nIn a full-page Washington Post ad published today\, we congratulated the transparency and achievement of the foundations that did participate\, honoring them as the Circle of Transparency.  We believe greater transparency is key to charting a more equitable approach to investment manager selection and hope to see the Circle grow larger next year. We’re committed to continue studying the diversity of managers of philanthropic endowments and asset management as an industry. \nAgain\, we thank all the foundations who disclosed their data in the study so the public and the field of philanthropy could be well informed. And we encourage all who did not to reconsider. \nSpecial thanks to The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, Casey Family Programs\, The Chicago Community Trust and Ariel Investments for contributing blogs in support. And congratulations to the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for their recent commitment to achieve significant gains in this area.

SUMMARY:Updates from CEDAM
DESCRIPTION:Bi-partisan budget agreement includes funding for Children’s Savings Accounts \nToday\, the Michigan legislature passed a fiscal year 2021–22 budget ahead of the October 1 statutory requirement. In total\, the General Fund budget is $11.8 billion. When combined with the $17 billion K‑12 school aid budget already signed and federal funds\, the governor said the total budget would be just under $70 billion.\n \nThe budget agreement includes $2 million in funding for Children’s Savings Accounts\, one of CEDAM’s top policy priorities. Other highlights include:  \n\n$100 million for community revitalization and placemaking grants to support economic development in local communities\nIncreased funding for workforce development including $55 million for the Michigan Reconnect program\, $25 million for Futures for Frontliners program\, $40 million for the Going PRO program\, and $8 million for pre-apprenticeship/apprenticeship training programs that will expand Michigan’s talent pool in the construction and building trades\nIncreases in funding for childcare including $108.1 million to increase the amount of children eligible for child care by increasing income eligibility to 185% through FY23\, $158 million for an ongoing 30 percent rate increase for childcare providers\, $36.5 million over three years to expand the number of childcare spaces for infants and toddlers\nA two percent increase in statutory revenue sharing (cities and villages receive revenue earmarked by the state constitution and statute to help pay for core governmental services) \nFunding for a new Office of Rural Development within MDARD\n\nThe governor plans to sign the bipartisan budget into law before the end of the month. \nThe legislature is expected to take up American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding in supplemental bills released throughout the fall and spring. CEDAM will continue to advocate for using ARPA funding for affordable housing and community economic development needs across the state. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGovernor Whitmer announces $2.1 billion MI New Economy plan \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCEDAM’s Executive Director Luke Forrest joined Governor Whitmer at her press conference on September 20 announcing her ​“MI New Economy” plan. The $2.1 billion proposal focuses on three pillars: Growing the middle class\, supporting small businesses\, and investing in communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIncluded in each of these pillars are ambitious goals that will help track progress to achieving prosperous\, resilient communities. Falling under the investing in communities pillar are two goals that directly align with CEDAM’s policy priorities:  \n\n100% access to high-speed internet and 95% adoption by households during the next five years\n75\,000 new or rehabilitated housing units in five years\n\nGoals from the other pillars include lifting 100\,000 families out of working poverty within five years\, provide affordable or no cost childcare for 150\,000 families by 2024\, and move Michigan to be a top 10 state for small business job growth and income growth\, among several others.  \nRead more about the plan and a statement from our ED Luke Forrest here.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nFederal Advocacy Alert — Build Back Better Plan \nThis month the House Financial Services Committee approved legislation to boost federal spending for affordable housing by $322 billion. The House committee’s bill represents the largest infusion of affordable housing resources in US history. \nHouse and Senate leaders are making critical decisions right now about how much to invest in affordable housing in the upcoming Build Back Better Act. Take action today! \n\n\n\nContact your senators and representatives and urge them to include full funding for the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s HoUSed campaign’s priorities in the infrastructure and economic recovery package.\nJoin more than 1\,500 organizations nationwide in signing the HoUSed campaign letter.
