Through its social network, Michigan Corps has connected business entrepreneurs with investors, helped students generate ideas for community change, built public policy capacity among social entrepreneurs, founded Kiva Detroit, helped lead Detroit4Detroit, and more.

Through its special projects work, Michigan Corps launched Kiva Detroit in June 2011, which is a first-of-its-kind effort to enable Detroiters to make loans to small businesses in their community. Kiva Detroit represents the first, big locally-organized microlending effort in the United States.

Michigan Corps looks forward to even more impact yielded by its engaged network of Corps Members and its series of projects focused largely on education and entrepreneurship.
