FUNDING
LOCAL
IMPACT
One of the core ways United Way of South Central Michigan
supports our communities is by directing donor funding to local
nonpro昀椀 ts through grants, awarded by committees of local
volunteers. Dollars stay in the community where they were raised
and support organizations serving people facing 昀椀 nancial hardship,
including ALICE families working hard but not earning enough to
cover the basics. We prioritize partners serving people who have
historically had fewer resources and opportunities.
