Motor City Contractor Fund (MCCF)
The Motor City Contractor Fund is a collaborative effort between LifeLine Global Consulting, CDFIs, banks, foundations, and the p public sector to bring flexible and affordable lending to Detroit-based BI-POC contractors.
The initiative offers the necessary tools to support business growth in order to bid and complete for an array of contractors in the city including demotion, rehab, and other public/private projects.
The MCCF begins with a 12-month pilot program that combines lending, business advisory services, community-based partnerships, and technology to meet the cash flow needs of twenty local emerging BIPOC Contractors.

"I've been a client of @drnicoleparker and her company @lifelineglobalconsulting for the past 5 years. If you need funding for your business then you'll need a business plan. She's gonna show you to write one that gets MONEY!!! This past March she got my production company Joe Smith Media funded. I have brought new production equipment, and am able to fund several upcoming projects. She held my hand through the entire process. Contrary to popular belief, there's plenty of money out there for minority businesses! And to get it you're gonna need a killer biz plan. So, register for this class."
