Anchor Institute Launch Party: A Year of Building, A Bigger Vision Ahead

Anchor exists to grow West Michigan’s next generation of builders — people who start, build, and stick with hard things for the good of this place. This night is where we put that work on stage.

What to expect

  • Young Builder Showcase during cocktail hour (4:30–5:30)
  • Anchor’s origin story and West Michigan’s builder ethos
  • Spotlights from our early work, including the beta cohort
  • Builder stories and the West Michigan Builders List
  • Remarks from Anchor board member John Tuttle
  • Announcements on the Anchor College Builder Challenge + cohort, and Anchor Builder Grants

Then we move into a VIP dinner and fundraiser with board participation — for those ready to invest in what comes next.

Join us as we celebrate what West Michigan's builders accomplished this year — and roll out how Anchor is scaling to reach the next generation of them.
