Support Porter's Place

Invest in Community, Culture, and Connection

Porter's Place is more than a community room. It is a gathering place where residents, neighbors, artists, youth, elders, and community organizations come together to learn, create, celebrate, and build lasting connections.

Your support helps us provide affordable and accessible programming, host community events, support local artists and cultural traditions, and create opportunities for residents of Dunbar Tower and the broader Ann Arbor community.

Every gift, large or small, helps strengthen a space built by and for the community.

Help Ensure Ann Arbor's Black History Is Never Forgotten

The Red Line Legacy Project at Porter's Place preserves and uplifts the stories of Black families whose lives, neighborhoods, and opportunities were shaped by redlining, housing discrimination, and displacement in Ann Arbor.

For generations, Black families helped build our community, strengthen its neighborhoods, and contribute to its cultural and civic life. Yet many of their stories have gone undocumented, overlooked, or erased from the historical record. The Red Line Legacy Project seeks to change that by creating a permanent space where these histories can be remembered, honored, and shared with future generations.

Leave a Lasting Legacy

Donate $100 or more and become part of this important effort.

With your contribution, you may choose an Ann Arbor Black family to be permanently recognized on the Red Line Wall at Porter's Place. Your name will also be included on the project's donor recognition display inside the building.
