Legacy Gift to Michigan League for Public Policy
As the Founder of the Nokomis Foundation, for almost twenty-five years Nokomis has been my personal mission, my way to partner with others to create social change. I have particularly valued opportunities that empower those whose voices and experiences are marginalized in our society-- but who have so much to teach us if we would only listen.
That is why it gives us great joy to announce that our first Nokomis Foundation Legacy Gift is awarded to the Michigan League for Public Policy. This gift of one million dollars will establish a permanent endowment so that the League’s outstanding policy work can be carried on for as long as it’s needed.
For one hundred years the Michigan League for Public Policy has been on the frontlines of advancing an inclusive policy and advocacy agenda for our state. The League’s work is built on sound research, reasoned advocacy and strong collaboration to get things done.
Because of the League’s proven track record, we have every confidence that it will carry on the fight that is at the heart of the Nokomis Foundation mission. Together, by building a strong endowment, we can create a stable financial legacy for the Michigan League for Public Policy for the next 100 years and beyond.
Congratulations to the Michigan League on your hard work over the past 100 years. Now it is time to celebrate the future!
