We can’t wait to have you join us for our 2nd annual Minority Philanthropy Initiative- a multicultural celebration!
MPI Multicultural Celebration
October 13, 2022
Blue Water Convention Center
We will gather, give and grow philanthropy on a night designed to celebrate our diversity!
Be part of an exciting evening featuring a Native American jingle dress dance by Kassandra Christianson, the Nanou Djiapo Drum & Dance group, and Mariachi Jalisco de Detroit. A tasting of foods from around the world will also be part of the evening experience.
Your registration will help us award three local nonprofit organizations a grant on event night!
You will nominate your favorite local nonprofit when you register, and then during the event 3 nominations will be randomly selected to make a pitch about supporting their nonprofit. Guests will then vote and the nonprofit with the most votes will be awarded the top grant with second and third receiving grants as well.
Excess funds raised for the event will be put into the Equity & Inclusion Fund at the Community Foundation to help grow the impact of the fund. If you can’t attend the event but would still like to support the event, you can register and select “not attending” to make your gift.
