The Advancing Macomb Nonprofit Accelerator is a new pilot program designed to support and elevate small to mid-sized nonprofits in Macomb County, Michigan. This initiative provides a four-month cohort learning experience aimed at strengthening nonprofit organizations through mentorship, structured learning, and peer collaboration. The program is facilitated by Advancing Macomb, in partnership with capacity-building organizations across Michigan.
The Accelerator program will equip participating organizations with essential knowledge about nonprofit management, leadership, and sustainability within the Southeast Michigan nonprofit ecosystem.

The program will accept up to 10 Macomb-based organizations for the Winter 2025 cohort. Selected organizations will benefit from expert guidance, networking opportunities, and practical training tailored to nonprofit leaders' needs.
