Gilbert Family Foundation
Overview
The Gilbert Family Foundation is a philanthropic organization dedicated to building opportunity and economic mobility in Detroit, Michigan, and advancing research for neurofibromatosis (NF). Founded in 2015 by Dan and Jennifer Gilbert, the foundation focuses on addressing systemic barriers to economic and social mobility for Detroit residents and accelerating a cure for NF. Their initiatives include housing stability, economic mobility, public spaces, arts and culture, and healthcare research. The foundation's strategy involves protecting Detroit residents from losing their homes to tax foreclosure or eviction, connecting them to opportunities to build wealth, and investing in community-wide projects that strengthen social bonds. In healthcare, they support research initiatives like the Vision Restoration Initiative, Brain Tumor Initiative, Gene Therapy Initiative, and Next-Generation NF1 Models Initiative to develop therapies for NF. Through deep collaboration with partners, the Gilbert Family Foundation aims to make transformative investments that solve complex problems, reflecting their belief that significant change is possible when communities work together.
