RETHINKING PHILANTHROPY’S ROLE
In 2016, the New Economy Initiative commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research to measure the economic and employment impact of its $96.2 million in grants since 2007. NEI then created a document to tell the stories behind that impact. Each of those reports can be downloaded at the right:
- Impact Report of the New Economy Initiative, Vol. 1, 2016 – Prepared by the New Economy Initiative, September 2016
- The Economic Impacts of the New Economy Initiative in Southeast Michigan – Prepared for the New Economy Initiative by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, May 2016
- The Employment Impact of the New Economy Initiative (NEI) on the Detroit Region and the State of Michigan – Prepared for the New Economy Initiative by the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, July 8, 2016
In addition to economic and employment impact reports, NEI also commissioned a survey of entrepreneurs in southeast Michigan’s attitudes regarding the resources available to them in the region.
