Economic Impact of Nonprofits on Northwestern Michigan

"I have a wonderful friend from Kenya who told me recently that the thing he always admired the most about America is the way our country provides assistance to Kenya,” remarks Karen Schmidt. “He says, ‘They could just send money, but instead they send gifted teachers who train my people how to be better businessmen, better farmers and more successful citizens.We become wiser and more independent.’ That’s what NorthSky does for nonprofits.It makes our boards and our organizations stronger, wiser and more likely to succeed." northwestmichigangarden.org
