Detroit Philanthropy Hosting “Beyond the Proposal” Panel at The Corner Ballpark
Detroit Philanthropy will host Beyond the Proposal: Relationships, Readiness, and Funding Decisions on Tuesday, April 21, at the historic site of old Tiger Stadium, bringing together foundation leaders for a timely conversation on how nonprofits can strengthen their proposals and build meaningful relationships with funders. The panel will take place from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at The Corner Ballpark, 1680 Michigan Ave., Detroit — now a community gathering space on the former footprint of Tiger Stadium, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. The discussion will explore how foundations evaluate proposals, identify signals of readiness and alignment, and prioritize authentic relationships in funding decisions. Panelists will offer practical insights to help nonprofit leaders strengthen both their submissions and long-term engagement with funders. The event will be moderated by Rachel Decker, president of Detroit Philanthropy. Panelists include: LaTrice McClendon, director, Detroit Knight Foundation; Cindy Rowell, director of learning and impact, Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation; Andrew Echt, director, Applebaum Family Philanthropy **Registration is $30 and must be completed by April 10** on Detroit Philanthropy’s website, detroitphilanthropy.com/upcoming-events.
