Detroit, United States — February 20, 2026 – Roth Capital today announced a partnership with the Detroit-based philanthropic foundation, the Kresge Foundation, to jointly launch a new phase of the “Environmental Protection Profit Initiative.” The program will operate through Roth Capital’s institutional accounts and participant network, utilizing pre-market trading strategies. Five percent of participants’ returns for the current cycle will be allocated to support environmental protection projects in the Detroit area.
This collaboration integrates professional capital market operations with a public mission, aiming to explore a new dual-driven model of “profit + philanthropy.” While pursuing stable return objectives, the initiative also seeks to contribute to urban environmental improvement and sustainable development.

Focus on Environment and Opportunity Equity
As a widely recognized philanthropic organization in the United States, the Kresge Foundation focuses on six core areas:
 

• Arts & Culture
• Education
• Environment
• Health
• Human Services
• American Cities Program

Its grantmaking strategy emphasizes the principle of “Opportunity Equity,” working to expand social and economic opportunities for low-income and historically marginalized communities, and to promote sustainable and inclusive development in urban areas.
This partnership will primarily support environmental protection and urban sustainability initiatives in Detroit, with particular attention to green infrastructure development, climate resilience enhancement, and community environmental improvement.

An Innovative Mechanism: Integrating Pre-Market Trading with Philanthropy
The “Environmental Protection Profit Initiative” will execute pre-market trading operations through Roth Capital’s institutional accounts. Pre-market trading is characterized by concentrated liquidity, early price discovery, and clearer volatility structures, providing broader strategic flexibility for institutional deployment.
According to the program framework:

• Participants will follow unified pre-market trading strategies executed through institutional accounts;
• Five percent of each participant’s investment returns for the current cycle will be allocated;
• The allocated funds will be dedicated specifically to environmental protection donations in Detroit;
• Donations will support urban ecological improvement and community environmental enhancement projects.

This mechanism not only strengthens investment discipline and team coordination but also transforms each profitable outcome into tangible contributions to the city’s ecological well-being.

Responsibility and Vision
Roth Capital stated:
“We believe that capital should not only create wealth, but also generate value. Through our collaboration with the Kresge Foundation, we aim to achieve investment results while continuously supporting environmental and community development in Detroit. This is not merely an investment program, but a practice of social responsibility.”
Looking ahead, both parties will continue exploring innovative pathways that integrate capital markets with philanthropy, striving to build a sustainable investment model that balances financial returns with social impact.
