About The Skillman Foundation

The Skillman Foundation partners with people to transform the education system, nurturing the brilliance and power of Detroit youth. We believe in People Powered Education. We invest in Detroiters’ power to design an exceptional education system, we support equitable education policy advocacy, and we connect the expertise of students and those closest to them with policy movers statewide.

The Skillman Foundation is a grantmaking organization established in 1960 by Rose Skillman. Across our history, the Foundation has granted out approximately $750 million and has served as a vocal advocate to strengthen K-12 public education, afterschool programming, child-centered neighborhoods, youth and community leadership, and racial equity and justice.
