About Grant A Privilege Foundation

Grant A Privilege Foundation (GAP) is a Detroit-based nonprofit working to empower youth and families facing economic hardship. Our mission is rooted in compassion, equity, and the belief that everyone deserves the privilege of opportunity. What started as a local initiative has evolved into a dynamic organization impacting lives throughout Detroit and surrounding communities.

We design each program to remove barriers and inspire confidence, focusing on students and families who often go unseen. Through signature initiatives like Prom-in-the-Box, scholarships, job-placement assistance, and annual drives, GAP continues to bridge gaps, restore hope, and create lasting change for generations to come.

Our Programs & Services

GAP provides a suite of free programs for youth and families, including our Prom-in-the-Box experience, Future Leaders Scholarship, Back-to-School Bash, FAFSA aid, and year-round community drives. We remove barriers and build brighter futures.
