About this grant
This grant will support the Ferris Wheel Innovation Center, an organization established to help people in an economically disadvantaged community gain access to support that assists in advancing their business concepts. The goal is to: 1) foster education; 2) encourage innovation and entrepreneurship; and 3) promote economic stability in Flint. This will be accomplished by partnering with local colleges and other nonprofits to provide mentoring, counseling and other services to early-stage businesses. Additionally, summer internships for college students and retail space for entrepreneurs who can’t afford the overhead of their own brick-and-mortar building will be offered.
