Advertisement
You’ve seen the headlines.
Across the country, “teen takeover” has become code for fear, with young people framed as a problem instead of recognized as leaders, creators, innovators, philanthropists, and community builders.
This August, MFCF is flipping that script.
Join us for the 6th Annual Donors & Doers: Teen Takeover Edition, happening August 28–29, 2026, at Aya House in Detroit’s historic Eastern Market.
This two-day experience will bring together youth, families, funders, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and community doers for learning, connection, celebration, and community-led philanthropy.
What to expect:
🎤 Youth-led sessions and storytelling
💻 Digital learning and creative experiences
💰 Financial empowerment and funding connections
🤝 Community resources and relationship-building
📖 The unveiling of MFCF’s five-year impact report
🏆 The 2026 DTE Community Champion Award presentation
❤️ The Detroit Love Fund philanthropy workshop and live grant giveaway
During the Detroit Love Fund experience, guests will learn how participatory grantmaking works, review community-driven funding requests, and help decide which idea receives a live microgrant.

This is not the “teen takeover” the headlines warned you about.
