The Building Bridges initiative’s ultimate aim was to improve the
quality of life in communities through better management and leadership
of the nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations that serve these
communities and to foster stronger links between the pedagogy and
practice of nonprofit management.
The W. K. Kellogg Foundation asked CenterPoint Institute to help manage
several aspects of the initiative including meetings, website design and
hosting, a mini-grant program, grantee relations and reporting,
communication and evaluation. The Building Bridges initiative included 20 projects in the
United States and eight programs in Latin America. Building Bridges
Learning Community meetings were held in Houston, Texas, Battle Creek,
Michigan, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Washington, D.C.
