The Community Development Coalition of Northwest Michigan uses an innovative multi-sector approach to tackle community issues holistically and systematically.

Made up of nearly 40 cross-sector partners from business, governmental, and nonprofit sectors, Coalition Contributors work together to support our region. A Scorecard of shared metrics helps align our efforts and highlights progress toward our collective goals.

Our Shared Vision

By 2030, we will have created a more sustainable region by advancing shared economic, societal, environmental goals. We will achieve this transformational change by leveraging the collective power of cross-sector collaboration.

When we are successful, we will:

• See a larger share of state and federal resources flowing to our region.
• Foster deeper, productive connections with elected leaders and decision-makers to understand how they connect their work to projects and resources in their respective districts.
• Recognize meaningful improvement on shared outcomes prioritized in the Scorecard, which support progress toward a more thriving community.
