Invest Detroit

2023 was a landmark year for Invest Detroit, marked by the deployment of nearly $53 million—a record-breaking achievement that reflects our steadfast dedication to putting people first. Through our work, we continue to drive inclusive and impactful growth, transforming lives and revitalizing the region we call home.

By deploying targeted capital and fostering strategic partnerships, we created tangible benefits for residents, developers, and entrepreneurs alike. From revitalizing neighborhoods and supporting mixed-income housing to nurturing high-growth startups, our efforts are designed to empower individuals and redefine what’s possible for our communities.

Every year, the Invest Detroit team strives to do more good in and for our community, and we are grateful to our many funders and partners for their generous support of this work. Together, we serve and impact our community in ways that would otherwise not be possible.

In 2022, we far exceeded our original goals with record-high deployment of nearly $50 million of much-needed funding for our clients. We also expanded our work, filling ecosystem gaps by launching new small business loan programs and a new growth-stage venture capital fund, all of which provide inclusive and equitable access to capital and economic growth opportunities for underserved developers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners.
