Programs

From developing and funding programs to networking and sharing ideas, we work closely with other nonprofit organizations to ensure we are all using our resources wisely, not duplicating services and creating programs that truly meet our community’s needs. Programs and services include:

Agency Impact, United Way funds 116 programs at 51 partner agencies to address critical community needs and serve vulnerable populations
United Way’s 2-1-1 free call center provides a central resource for local community services and information 24/7 to people in need.
The Volunteer Center and online Volunteer Solutions connects individuals, students, families and employers with organizations and programs that match their talents and interests.
Project Blueprint is a leadership development program with the goal of increasing the number of ethnically diverse professionals to West Michigan nonprofit agency boards.
United Way’s Annual Day of Caring, West Michigan’s largest one-day volunteer event, organizes nearly 1600 volunteers from 47 local companies to perform 5,000 hours of services for local agencies and schools.
