Comerica Partnership
The Comerica partnership has been a vital pillar for the BIG Institute in helping us fulfill our mission. BIG is transforming the lives of our youth by unveiling their “WHY” for existence through entrepreneurship and wealth creation.
Comerica’s uniqueness is its ability to wrap their support around nonprofits who are making a difference in the community through their funding and volunteering. Some financial institutions have their own- in-house financial programs and do not provide funding to nonprofits for their community initiatives. We are thankful for Comerica being an institution that supports nonprofits’ missions.
We at the BIG Institute are grateful to have people like Linda Nosegbe, Vice President of Community Impact; Kevin Watkins, Vice President, External Affairs Market Manager and Hassan Melhem, Vice President of External Affairs National Middle Eastern American Business Development, who all work earnestly in bringing financial empowerment to youths in underserved communities.
Surviving In The Real World Simulation would not be a success without the support of the countless employees at Comerica who have volunteered their time at our simulations. Comerica has been “The Village” missing in our communities. Their support strengthens the youths’ financial blueprint to build a brighter tomorrow. Our partnership with Comerica is improving the trajectory of youths in Detroit.
