Our #AI Explained event with Black Tech Saturdays was the preview to a partnership focused on building opportunity to access for Detroiters. Because one of the best ways to help bridge the #digitaldivide is by connecting the power of our Detroit talent with cutting-edge technology like AI - and the skills to use it. Thank you to Johnnie Turnage and Alexa Turnage for your vision and leadership, and to Autumn Evans for your continued dedication to creating digital access for all!

Rocket Community Fund
Philanthropic Fundraising Services
aiming to simplify complex and inequitable systems to ensure that every American has access to stable, healthy housing.
About us
In 2010, Quicken Loans (now Rocket Mortgage) moved its headquarters and 3,600 team members from suburban Detroit to the heart of downtown. Since then, Rocket Companies has grown to include more than 25,000 team members in downtown Detroit, as well as offices in Cleveland, Charlotte, and Phoenix. As our numbers have grown, so has our commitment to doing well by doing good. The Rocket Community Fund was created to harness the incredible power of our organization and find innovative ways to make an impact in each of our home communities. Through our investments, we believe we can create value not only for our business but for everyone. Our mission is to simplify complex and inequitable systems to ensure that every American has access to stable, healthy housing.

Another unique volunteer experience in the books! Thank you to our #Detroit Rocket Mortgage team members for #volunteering with The Parade Company! As one of our rockstar volunteers Kim Lehman (pictured far left, first row) said, this was "a cool opportunity and a labor of love deconstructing old floats, helping recycle used materials and painting items for new floats! There was cool historical stuff buried in the back corners of this magical place." We love supporting organizations like these, and finding creative opportunities for our team members to make an impact!

Last week, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of the opening of Human-I-T on 7 Mile! This brick-and-mortar retail store is the first of its kind in the nation, providing discounted or free digital devices, access to high-speed internet, onsite technical support and more. So far, Human I-T on 7 Mile has served 8,000 Detroiters! Human I-T shares our vision for a more digitally included world, and it was an honor to partner with them and support the opening of this landmark store. We look forward to celebrating more milestones together! Learn More: https://bit.ly/4crxv7w Thank you Jennifer Jambor, MBA, Laura Grannemann and Autumn Evans!)

Neighbor to Neighbor has been instrumental to our housing stability strategy. Thanks to the success of the program in Detroit, we've been able to expand it to Cleveland, Milwaukee and Atlanta. Neighbor to Neighbor has also paved the way for many other housing programs, partnerships and investments, and has helped keep residents in their homes. And we're just getting started. So what is Neighbor to Neighbor, and why is it so important? Watch the video to find out. Learn more about the program: https://bit.ly/4by3DVA (Special thanks to Betsy Cooper, our Graphic Designer and former Housing Stability team member, and Cartiear J. Madlock, our Video Content Creator, for their work on this amazing video!)

The Resident Connection Hub is one of our most popular volunteer events for Rocket Companies team members - with good reason. It gives team members the opportunity to directly support Detroit residents with housing resources and information. Watch the video to learn more, and see how this meaningful experience creates "repeat volunteers" like Trina Robertson and Demetria Anderson! A huge thank you to Rachel Ableser, our Neighbor to Neighbor Program Manager who leads RCH (and is herself a former RCH "repeat volunteer!") Learn More: https://bit.ly/3RGhfXW

One year of Human-I-T on Seven Mile in the books! Posting with a full heart and gratitude for a GREAT team, INCREDIBLE partners and FANTASTIC community members. Special thanks to the Rocket Community Fund and Rocket Companies for your commitment to our mission, supporting Detroiters, digital adoption and our collective quest to bridge the #digitaldivide. Doing this work with all of you is a true gift. Thank you everyone that worked on the community celebration event, showed up to help us celebrate and that have supported our work. Together we’ve touched thousands of Detroiters, and made resources available that are helping individuals thrive in our digital world. We’ve made great strides since 2019 and are committed to keeping the momentum going with all of you! Rocket Mortgage Classic kicks off this week - one of my favorite weeks in the D! The charitable arm of this PGA event helps non-profits in Detroit “Change the Course” for students, families, seniors, veterans and others.
