Give the Gift of Giving
At Brilliant Detroit, every child deserves the chance to learn and grow, no matter their zip code. But this year, families are facing reduced support due to federal cuts, lower SNAP benefits, and decreased nonprofit funding. Many are struggling to access essentials like food, books, and safe learning spaces.
Your Giving Tuesday gift can change that.
Every dollar helps keep our neighborhood hubs open. These are places where children receive tutoring, families share meals, and communities stay connected. Our model turns support into empowerment, with families and kids giving back and lifting each other up.
Your gift fuels resilience, belonging, and opportunity. Give today and help keep doors open for Detroit’s families.
