Foundation Readiness for Community Transformation: Learning in Real Time
The article conveys a snapshot of a complex undertaking very much in development; there is value in examining and sharing it now because many of the readiness issues facing this foundation are ones with which others have struggled, not always successfully.
The Skillman Foundation
The Skillman Foundation is a grantmaking organization established in 1960 by Rose Skillman. We have granted out more than $730 million and have served as a vocal advocate to strengthen K-12 education, afterschool programming, child-centered neighborhoods, youth and community leadership, and racial equity and justice.
We are in the process of developing a new strategic framework, co-designed with Detroit youth and their champions.
