GRAND RAPIDS NEHEMIAH PROJECT

Grand Rapids Nehemiah Project (GRNP) is an active 501(c)(3) community development organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan that serves as the backbone organization for the Grand Rapids Center for Community Transformation (GRCCT). It operates a mix of direct-service programs and social enterprises focused on workforce development, after-school and youth programming, low-income senior support, legal redress services, community event space, and minority/women business services. In the last 2–3 years GRNP has expanded program scale and organizational capacity, including a renovated co-located facility that houses partner organizations and social enterprises. Financial filings show substantial growth in contributed support and overall revenues through FY2022–FY2024, enabling larger programmatic reach and the continued operation of training-focused enterprises that provide paid work experience for local residents. GRNP’s programming emphasizes job training and placement through its social enterprises, leadership development, and partnerships with local funders and municipal planning efforts to advance neighborhood-level economic and community development in Grand Rapids’ Third Ward and surrounding areas.
