Grants & Financial Specialist - Remote

Overview

The Michigan Center for Employee Ownership (MICEO) is a statewide nonprofit organization that serves as the central hub for resources on employee ownership for businesses in Michigan. Its primary mission is to educate business owners, their advisors (lawyers, bankers, accountants, wealth advisors), and community leaders on employee ownership's social and business benefits. MICEO does this through in-person and online events, educational resources and case studies, and connections to technical assistance providers who can assist with employee ownership transitions. By doing this, MICEO strives to help protect jobs, increase community wealth, and create more vibrant local economies throughout Michigan.
