For over six decades, the Southwest Detroit Business Association (SDBA) has been more than just an organization—it has been the heartbeat of a vibrant community, working tirelessly to uplift, inspire, and preserve the cultural richness of Detroit’s Hispanic community.

With a steadfast belief in the potential of every individual, SDBA has woven a tapestry of opportunity, creativity, and growth that ensures southwest Detroit thrives both today and for generations to come. Their dedication to their mission is fortified by an endowment established in 2006 with the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, a partnership that ensures the long-term sustainability of their impactful work.

Central to this mission is COMPÁS Detroit – Center of Music & Performing Arts Southwest Detroit, a program that ignites the passions of the youth, offering them not just a stage, but a platform to express their dreams and aspirations. “At the Southwest Detroit Business Association, our dedication to preserving the rich cultural heritage of our community is at the heart of everything we do,” shares Laura Chavez-Wazeerud-Din, President and CEO of SDBA.

“Establishing an endowment with the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan was a natural choice because they share our deep commitment to supporting our community and its youth. This partnership allows us to create a lasting legacy, ensuring that future generations will continue to benefit from resources and opportunities that uplift and empower them, while also preserving our cultural heritage.”
