Economic Mobility

We invest in programs and partnerships that provide Detroit residents and small businesses with opportunities to build economic prosperity for themselves and future generations.

Why it Matters

Too many residents have been systematically excluded from opportunities to build wealth and improve their economic status.

These historic and persistent barriers often lead to cycles of poverty with wide-ranging and long-lasting negative repercussions. Our economic mobility investments focus on supporting Detroit entrepreneurs, connecting residents to quality job opportunities and investing in strategic workforce development programs.
