Support the MECEC

MECEC is intentionally building a coalition that values equitable representation. Too often, participation and contribution of ideas are limited to those with the resources to have the time and access to sit at the tables where policies and solutions are discussed – and that doesn’t always represent what is actually needed or wanted – let alone produce the best outcomes.

We want to change that. We embrace approaches that ensure opportunities for system solutions are constructed by all stakeholders.

That takes resources.

Resources for coordination, and resources to go directly to other organizations and community members to enable their time to be contributing solution seekers.

If you or your organization can support this work, no amount is inconsequential.

We are actively raising $1 million for Year 1 operations, and we can use your help.
