Social Investments
Lundin Foundation
The Lundin Foundation, Eagle Mine, and Northern Initiatives partnered to create a new program to benefit area entrepreneurs.
​
The Eagle Emerging Entrepreneur Fund is an innovative partnership to enhance the accessibility and affordability of loans and technical assistance to micro and small enterprises in Marquette County. The Fund launched in 2013 and is managed by Northern Initiatives, responsible for assessing and approving loans.
Accelerate U.P.
Accelerate U.P. (AUP) is a grassroots community project which offers free and confidential business coaching within Marquette County to promote entrepreneurial success. We believe the future of every community lies in capturing the talent, energy, and imagination of its people. AUP launched in 2013 to address the boom and bust cycle that is typical of mining.
The ultimate goal is to create as many jobs outside of the mining industry as we create in the industry.
