The MICA Group is a multicultural nonprofit organization based in New
Mexico whose purpose is to build sustainable partnerships and provide
intermediary services to under-served communities, foundations and government
entities. The organizational vision strongly affirms that all peoples contribute
to the diversity, richness and sustainability of civilizations, cultures and
humanity. As such MICA provides support to communities and organizations so
that indigenous and minority cultures can have a voice, equitable resources and
the capacity to realize their potential, reach for their dreams, and to
flourish -- where indigenous knowledge systems are recognized as inherently
valuable world resources.
METRIC, Inc. has supported the efforts
of The MICA Group from its early days of development to include strategic
planning and establishing its mission, vision and organizational goals and
objectives. Specifically we developed their operations manual, Advisory Board
governance guidance, and fundraising guide. METRIC supported the research
and writing of proposals for operational funds submitted to the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, the State of New Mexico and U.S. Economic Development
Administration.
