WHO: NFR serves cities, school systems, community groups and non-profit organizations throughout Michigan, and also works on region-wide projects, especially those that affect arts and cultural development, the environment, and the future of the Great Lakes. NFR concentrates on "Quality of Life" issues.

Managing partners Blair McGowan and Jim Moran have worked on social and cultural development and environmental issues in the southeast Michigan area for over 30 years each, and have built an energetic staff with a wide range of skills. We have six full-time and eight part-time staff and access to a number of contractors, based on the clients' needs.

NFR hires post-graduate university students with degrees in areas such as Urban Planning, Sustainable Development, Science, Social Science and other environmental disciplines who are motivated and want to make their mark doing important work for communities and the non-profit sector who want to get things done. Hiring energetic, knowledgeable people at the beginning of their careers allows NFR to offer its clients the maximum results for the lowest possible price.
