Detroit Jobs First

Anti Community Benefits Nonprofit funded by dark money, linked to Detroit mayor's office

"The organization, called Detroit Jobs First, is classified as a 501(c)(4) “social welfare” nonprofit, and it isn’t legally obligated to disclose its donors — making it a so-called “dark money” fund. The way it’s organized is similar to Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder’s controversial NERD Fund, which drew heavy criticism because it covered expenses for former Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr."
