Incompass Michigan

What Incompass Michigan does

Incompass Michigan is a Lansing-based nonprofit membership association serving as the only statewide network of comprehensive human service providers in Michigan. Its members are mission-driven organizations, primarily serving individuals with disabilities or facing other barriers to employment, including Goodwill Industries of Greater Grand Rapids, MOKA, Peckham, Judson Center, Pioneer Resources, and Autism Alliance of Michigan. The association delivers its value through three membership tiers (Organizational $750-$7,000, Associate $500-$5,000, VR $150) plus a portfolio of professional development programs including a Leadership Pathway (Foundation, Academy, and Continuum), an on-demand LMS, the Safety Included neurodiverse-friendly safety training, a Job Coach Virtual Training Series, and two annual conferences (Leadership Conference and re:con).

The organization operates a self-insured Workers' Compensation Fund established in 1988 that has returned over $28 million in dividends and discounts to members at an average 38% premium return, with claims administered by Broadspire and excess insurance from Midwest Employers Casualty Company. Adjacent programs include the Set Aside Law program supporting Community Rehabilitation Organizations' preferred state procurement status, the ODEP VOICE Initiative, the Employment First State Leadership Mentoring Program, and a Joint Center for Social Enterprise Development established with the Small Business Association of Michigan. Technology is entirely third-party: SilkStart powers the member portal, KDP delivers on-demand courses, and Zoom hosts virtual events. With four core staff members led by President & CEO Todd Culver, the association is a small, member-governed organization whose competitive position rests on regulatory and network advantages rather than proprietary technology.
