About us
In 2010, Quicken Loans (now Rocket Mortgage) moved its headquarters and 3,600 team members from suburban Detroit to the heart of downtown. Since then, Rocket Companies has grown to include more than 25,000 team members in downtown Detroit, as well as offices in Cleveland, Charlotte, and Phoenix. As our numbers have grown, so has our commitment to doing well by doing good. The Rocket Community Fund was created to harness the incredible power of our organization and find innovative ways to make an impact in each of our home communities. Through our investments, we believe we can create value not only for our business but for everyone. Our mission is to simplify complex and inequitable systems to ensure that every American has access to stable, healthy housing.

🚀 Leaders who live our culture and lead by example! 🚀 The Rocket Companies Z Team joined our Executive Director Laura Grannemann yesterday to volunteer with the Joe Louis Greenway Partnership (JLGP). Our senior leaders helped beautify the new recreation space and repot flowers for residents in the neighborhood. The Z team also had the opportunity to tour the new space and learn about how the Gilbert Family Foundation and other funders are supporting the construction of the Joe Louis Greenway - a 29 mile recreational pathway that will connect residents across 23 neighborhoods. This experience was a tangible example of our For More Than Profit approach. Together, we're tying threads between our commitment to Detroit neighborhoods and empowering our team members and leaders to make a positive impact. It's just one of the many ways we're working together to help everyone home. 🏡
