Since 1979, the Detroit Association of Black Organizations (DABO) has uplifted, unified, and empowered Detroit’s African American community through various programs, initiatives, and events. DABO is a 501c3 charitable organization with a federation of over 130 black, and non-black organizations working to build community unity.
We were founded with three principal goals in mind.

- Effectively serve the important needs and interests of the Black and total community
- Join with others to build bridges and interracial coalitions to address the area’s major problems and concerns
