SIPI Inc., a Flint-based capacity-building and consulting organization that supports nonprofits, small businesses, and community-driven initiatives, is inviting community members to participate in its Community Workshop Interest Survey as part of a trust-based, collaborative approach to designing free workshops for nonprofits and small businesses serving North Flint.
The survey, which closes January 7, will help SIPI programming better reflect the needs, interests, and lived experiences of the community. Over the past several years, SIPI workshops and Unity in Action cohorts have supported nonprofit leaders and staff, small business owners, grassroots organizers, board members, and emerging entrepreneurs.
“We believe the strongest programming is built alongside the community,” said Jordan Brown, Vice President of SIPI Inc., in a news release. “This survey is one way we slow down, listen, and co-create workshops that are practical, accessible, and rooted in relationships.”
Survey responses are anonymous and will be reviewed in aggregate to inform workshop topics, formats, and scheduling for 2026. SIPI’s workshops are free to participants and are supported by the Ruth Mott Foundation.
The survey takes approximately 7–10 minutes to complete. Three participants who complete the survey and opt into the drawing will be selected to receive a $50 Visa gift card.
