We’re closing 2025 strong! Through our LSLR Capital Stacks Pilot, we consulted 100+ experts, hosted 7 meetings, and identified 8 scalable financing strategies—plus $10M in potential savings for each pilot community. 2026 = interactive course!

As we wrap up 2025, we’re sharing some of our team’s favorite memories.

First up: Rachel Skylis, our Program Manager – Business Development. Rachel leads sponsorships and partnerships for the #MMLeague and #MMLFoundation.

Here’s to building even more meaningful #connections in 2026!

Today we gathered for our annual holiday lunch to celebrate all the incredible milestones we achieved together in 2025.

Fun fact: our team has a sweet tradition—every year we exchange homemade baked goods and treats! 🍪🎂

We hope your holidays are just as delightful!

For 4 years, MML & MML Foundation have worked to build thriving local economies. With support from DTE Foundation & Issue Media Group, we’re sharing stories from these communities. 🌟 Monroe’s student entrepreneurs: buff.ly/6AfkBAZ
