Bring a friend and be a part of making the Edison neighborhood a neighborhood of homeowners. Let's continue to gift our community with opportunities to create change in the lives of our neighbors! We will be working from 9am till about 1pm. Come when you can, leave when you need to. We hope to see you there!

An ✨amazing✨ article was written about Edison Initiatives and we are so grateful to have our mission be heard and the word spread about how we seek to brighten the Edison neighborhood with homeowners!

Edison Initiatives is a volunteer-driven, faith-based and prayer-powered 🙏🏾 nonprofit in Kalamazoo, Michigan, rehabbing older homes in the Edison neighborhood to help families break the rent cycle and build generational wealth.

Stop renting and start building your future with Edison Initiatives! 🏠✨ We are community-driven and down to get our hands dirty. Our program provides fully renovated houses, financial planning, and a clear 5-year path to ownership. Let’s build a stronger neighborhood, one house at a time. 🔨❤️

If you would like to support us financially for our current project at 1109 Hays Park Avenue or our next project that is coming very soon I will post the link to our giving page. We thank you sincerely! 💚

We're doing big things on Hays Park Ave and we can't do it without you! Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve already raised $8,000 toward our $10,000 dollar-for-dollar match challenge and we’re so close!
