In late December, Brilliant Detroit had the honor of being recognized at the Creative Society's Business Networking for Good event! This amazing gathering shines a spotlight on the impactful work of nonprofits making a difference across metro Detroit. We are so grateful to have received a certificate of appreciation for the work we do every day to build kid success neighborhoods. Thank you to the Creative Society for bringing the community together and celebrating the good happening all around us! #BeBrilliant #brilliantcommunities #kidsuccessneighborhoods

About us
Brilliant Detroit is a non-profit dedicated to building “kid success neighborhoods” where families with children ages 0-8 have what they need to be school-ready, healthy and supported. We do this by purchasing and renovating underutilized homes in the middle of neighborhoods and transforming them into community hubs where we offer evidence-based programming in the areas of education, health, family support, and neighbor-to-neighbor connections.
