The Detroit Industrial School is a community-based private foundation dedicated to funding projects that benefit children in need. Its mission focuses on supporting non-profit agencies in the Tri-County (Wayne, Oakland, Macomb) area that serve children who face the greatest needs and have the least access to other funding sources.
The grant program from the Detroit Industrial School aims to support a wide range of initiatives that directly benefit children. Its primary goals include addressing basic needs (food, clothing, emergency shelter), promoting education through tutoring and reading programs, enhancing educational and cultural enrichment, providing recreational and educational supplies and equipment, offering specialized equipment for disabled children, organizing field trips, supporting skill training projects, funding camperships, and considering pilot projects. The focus is on ensuring that children in the Tri-County area who are in great need receive the support they require.
