Motor City Match

How it Works

Motor City Match works with Detroit area businesses to offer funding, locate available Detroit real estate, and provide entrepreneurial support.

There are two competitive application tracks — the building owner track, for Detroit property owners and the business owner track, for business owners looking to start or expand in Detroit.

Two types of awards are available for technical assistance plus grant funds awarded four times per year. Lending options are also available for small business and construction loans. These funds help to meet the objectives of the organization: 1) Benefit low to moderate-income persons; 2) Remove slum or blight.
