TRENTON, Mich. - Michimich -- Members of the Trenton Rotary Club was part of a Rotary District 6400 wide Launch Detroit program which was a Micro-Finance Program Benefitting Entrepreneurs in Metro Detroit. Since it's inception in 2014. The program was designed to help entrepreneurs in under-resourced areas of Detroit with business education training, mentoring, and networking along with micro-loans up to $2,500 for those who qualified.

The program then grew to creating other Launch cities including Launch Trenton which provided micro funding to several Trenton businesses before the group took pause during the pandemic.

"Four years later we realized we still having funding for businesses that were not used and the committee had in turn disbanded. So rather than let the investment go dormant, the committee of five regrouped and explored other options that might align with the Launch Trenton values." Said Noel Jackson, Rotary Club President.
