Mission & Focus Areas
LEAP’s stated mission is to “build a stronger community for all” by working to grow, retain, and attract business. Its website describes two connected elements of its work: driving investment and business expansion, and strengthening the conditions that support growth through talent, entrepreneurship, industry initiatives, placemaking, infrastructure readiness, and inclusive participation.
LEAP’s grant activity includes business support and site-readiness funding, as well as grants for community projects. One organization supported in 2025 was Allen Neighborhood Center, which describes its mission as serving as a hub for neighborhood revitalization and activities promoting the health and well-being of Lansing’s Eastside community and other stakeholders.
Grantmaking
LEAP reported 96 grants totaling $5,428,379 in filing year 2025. Grants ranged from $5,050 to $2,639,900, with a median of $14,416. The largest award listed was $2,639,900 to Delta Charter Township for expenses associated with the Michigan Strategic Fund’s Ultium project. Other large awards included $365,000 to DTN Management Co. for Delhi Township SSRP expenses and $159,396 to Public Sector Consultants Inc. for business attraction and related program expenses. Allen Neighborhood Center received $37,500.
LEAP’s website describes the Community Enhancement Grant as an MEDC-funded subgrant program for public place-based infrastructure and façade improvement projects. Eligible applications were to be submitted by a local unit of government or quasi-government agency with written support from the local government; funding depended on MEDC approval. The published application cycle, with general applications due December 31, 2024 and façade applications due January 17, 2025, is a past cycle.
LEAP also describes Fund Your Acceleration as a set of competitive growth grants for businesses, intended to support business growth and further investment and job growth in the region. The stated process requires a five-page executive summary or business plan, quotes for proposed purchases, an application, and a bi- or tri-party contract, depending on the grant. The website says the process takes three to nine months.
