Building Progressive Power

Founded in 2016, the Michigan Donor Alliance brings together thoughtful and engaged donors committed to strengthening democracy, expanding opportunity, and building long-term progressive strength.

Our members believe lasting progress is built when we align our values, vision, and resources with data-informed strategy.

Strengthening Democracy Together in Michigan

What is a donor alliance?

A donor alliance is a like-minded community of people who want their giving to have a greater impact than it could have alone. It’s a network for those who are ready to drive meaningful change, explore innovative ideas, and connect with others who share a commitment to making a difference.

If the giving landscape feels overwhelming, a donor alliance can provide trusted guidance to help you direct your resources where they matter most.
