On April 18th, 2019, the Live Free Detroit Coalition gathered with community for the quarterly Directly Impacted Dinner. At these events we deepen relationships with Detroit’s grassroots leaders and activists to foster increased collaboration and coordinate efforts for greater impact. These dinners also serve as a place for table-turning. Select members of the philanthropic community are strategically invited to our table to gain new insights for funding strategies that genuinely work for, and on behalf of, those who are most impacted by violence and poverty.
