Grants for “capacity building” have been a central focus for AAACF for decades. Capacity building is an equivocal concept because there can be both tangible and intangible outcomes across multiple levels, from micro to macro. As the AAACF prepares to launch it's 2020 Capacity Building grant program,  it will be hosting two community feedback sessions.  AAACF wants the community to help define the “who, what, and how” as it takes a tested grant program focus and directs it toward new investments: capacity building for social movements. We want solutions that can change people’s lives, conditions, and prevailing power dynamics in our community.

The public is welcome to attend two community feedback sessions.  Those interested in attending one of the two sessions should fill out the RSVP below.   Please note that sessions will be hosted at the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation,  at 301 N. Main Street, Ann Arbor Mi. 48103

Space is limited to 30 people per session.  We ask that organizations interested in attending only send one representative to allow for maximum community participation.
