“We are thrilled to be a key partner in the Durfee Innovation Society, which houses our Beyond Basics Family Literacy Center.
A Detroit-area nonprofit is bringing experts together to discuss literacy in the city and across southeastern Michigan.
The tragic truth is we are failing many of our children in America and if they do not receive some badly needed intensive care they may never recover.

The Mars Agency, and advertising firm in Southfield, MI, sent some employees to volunteer in our office today. They ask their employees to “give back” to the community one day a year. This group really did a fantastic job organizing and filing all of our years of student data in our new data room.
Beyond Basics is excited to announce that famed local florist Blossoms of Birmingham will be donating the floral table centerpieces for their Ladies Luncheon on June 7th at the Detroit Athletic Club.
A huge thank you to our volunteers from CHEP! We cannot thank these men and women enough. They assisted us in moving furniture and organizing our new office space, as well as donating paint for our lobby. Thank you so much to our CHEP volunteers! We appreciate you!
Push22 owner Mike Verville read about Beyond Basics in a recent Crain’s Detroit Business article. He was in the process of moving his office to another location and wanted to donate his office furniture to our organization. He reached out to us and we gratefully accepted.
The battle against Detroit’s illiteracy crisis is fought one child at a time. Consider the story of Elijah Craft, a towering 6-foot, 6-inch 12th-grader at Central High School, where he plays football, basketball and baseball.
