We worked with Executive Marquis Herring of Mentoring Through Media in Detroit, Michigan. 1. Empowerment Through Exposure We believe that young men unlock their fullest potential when they are exposed to new environments, opportunities, and ideas. MTM is committed to expanding horizons through media engagement, college tours, and real-world experiences that inspire confidence and possibility. 2. Mentorship Rooted in Authentic Relationships We value deep, consistent, and genuine relationships. MTM mentors meet young men where they are, offering guidance, understanding, and accountability that supports their journey toward manhood, purpose, and positive life choices. 3. Holistic Development for Lifelong Success We are dedicated to developing the whole person—socially, academically, emotionally, and professionally. Our programs equip young men with the skills, character, and mindset needed to navigate life’s challenges and build sustainable futures. 4. Community-Centered Leadership and Responsibility We believe that young men become leaders when they understand their power to uplift their communities. MTM cultivates responsibility, service, and leadership skills that prepare participants to give back and create lasting change in Detroit. 5. Equity, Access, and Opportunity for Every Young Man We stand on the belief that all young men—regardless of background or circumstance—deserve access to mentorship, exposure, and growth. MTM works to dismantle barriers and open pathways to education, employment, and personal advancement.

What are your funding goals for this year? Think about who is waiting for you to get your work done to get the relief they have been wishing or praying for. This is an important moment in your journey, and it’s worth showing up for it with intention and confidence. Funding doesn’t come simply from having a good idea—it comes from being prepared, being consistent, and having the courage to ask for what your work truly needs. Every proposal you submit is an act of self-belief and a statement that your vision has value and deserves support. Move forward thoughtfully but boldly, remember that asking is part of the process, and keep this in mind: if you don’t ask you don’t get. Let's move!
