Description
DLC is the philanthropic arm of the Detroit Lions of the National Football League. Money raised through various benefits throughout the year enable DLC to award grants to non-profit organizations.
The organization's focus, though not exclusive, is on charities and programs that benefit the children of Detroit. Two major recipients are the Detroit Lions Academy, an alternative middle school in Detroit, and sponsorship of the Think Detroit PAL youth football league.
Last March, DLC awarded more than $580,000 in grants and, since its first awards were announced in 1991, has awarded approximately $4 million.
