People Moving Work: Camille Proctor

The WELL Fund launched in partnership with The Skillman Foundation, Black Executive Directors Alliance Detroit, and the Youth Development Resource Center to support the wellness and capacity of BIPOD-led nonprofits that serve Detroit (ages 5-24). Co.act and Skillman worked collaboratively with Detroit youth and their allies to shape what the grant program should look like – from program design to award selection.

In their own words

“The WELL Fund gave us as leaders in the community an opportunity to lead. And that makes a big difference. It allows people in the community – who are doing the work, who understand what the community needs, who know the people we work with – to thrive. We really are better together.”
