Your Investment in action
Every corporate dollar is deployed directly through BLD's programs. Here's how it works.
No-Interest Loans
Corporate investment replenishes the loan pool that gives Detroit entrepreneurs access to 0% capital. Your dollars get lent, repaid, and lent again, multiplying impact over time.
Building Fund
Residential developers of African descent receive no-interest capital to build homes and grow community wealth. Corporate partners make this pipeline possible.
Programs and Events
