Community Crowdfund Presented by MYPros

Hear from our 2024 steering committee why they believe the Community Crowdfund is such an important mission of MYPros.

One of the most meaningful ways MYPros supports the Midland community is through our annual Community Crowdfund. Launched in 2019 in partnership with the Midland Area Community Foundation, the Community Crowdfund empowers young professionals to support small, local businesses with bold goals and big community impact.

Since its inception, the Community Crowdfund has generated over $270,000 in support, fueling enthusiasm and positive change throughout Midland. Past recipients include Pizza Baker, Aviator Cookie, Grove Tea Lounge, Aster, Three Bridges Distillery & Taproom, Nor’East Outdoors and Allied Group Fitness. Each participating business must apply and clearly outline how their project will energize the community and spark new connections. To qualify for full funding, the recipient is required to raise a set amount through a crowdfunding campaign, which is then matched through earned interest from the Midland Area Community Foundation’s Impact Investing Committee.

We’re proud to share that our 2025 project, Downtownsend, successfully reached its goal and was fully funded!

Downtownsend, an initiative to revitalize an entire block of Townsend Street in downtown Midland, was created and led by Brandon Morey, owner of Crepes Et Amis and Iron Dame. The project will also benefit neighboring businesses Bookmarks and Mr. Moustache Phone Repair.

Stay tuned for ways to support and get involved in this transformative community effort.

Applications for the 2026 Community Crowdfund will open on February 6, 2026.
