About Us

Who We Are

Founded in 2021 by three lifelong friends, The Sunset Project is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to investing in the betterment of Northeast Michigan through creative-based and mental health programs.

Inspired by the loss of their friend, Sawyer Boyd, these three individuals committed themselves to finding unique ways to promote mental health awareness and facilitate creative-based change across Northeast Michigan. The organization has since developed three core programs, each with its own dynamic projects focused on improving the region and its communities.
