ANNOUCEMENT

Delta Sigma Theta Detroit Foundation, Inc., is pleased and proud to announce that we are recipients of a $7,000 grant from Young Women for  Change, a program of the Michigan Women's Foundation. The grant will fund a three-course series designed to provide exposure to arts and culture for young women, 14 - 17 years of age living in the Brightmoor section of Detroit. DSTDFI is committed to providing an additional  $5,000 for the program which, in addition to exposure and appreciation, will link the arts to careers in photography, design and painting. Furthermore, we are excited that through partnership with  the Detroit Public Schools, the Center for Creative Studies, Communities in Schools and the James Tatum Foundation Scholarship Awards, DSTDFI will join other community organizations and foundations in raising awareness about the role of arts and culture in enriching lives and about career opportunities related to the arts. By  instituting weekly arts residencies and field opportunities at Mumford High School, a Detroit public school, we will arrive at specific outcomes outlined in our proposal .
