About Hope Network | Overview | Grow With Hope

Grow with Hope


Hope Network is interested in affiliating with like organizations to ensure individuals in need of quality services continue to receive them, despite the current economic climate. In these challenging times some non-profit organizations and human service agencies struggle to maintain quality services, others simply feel the climate is too difficult to compete. However, some of these organizations provide critical services for individuals with disabilities or disadvantages that communities can not afford to lose.

 
In its 45 year history, Hope Network has affiliated with numerous organizations with like missions.  These past affiliations have presented beneficial results to the people we serve by offering a diverse selection of services and a strong continuum of care. As a financially strong organization, Hope Network would like to reach out to similar organizations to explore the possibilities of a partnership or affiliation. 
 
Hope Network serves 25,000 people across Michigan through specialized care and support services. Our values are rooted in our mission to “empower people with disabilities or disadvantages to achieve their highest level of independence.” At Hope Network, our focus is on service and ensuring that all of our consumers' needs are met, especially during tough economic times. 
 

The future is bright for Hope Network.

United Way Small Business Challenge
12/20/2011
Heart of West Michigan United Way invites you to take on the Small Business Challenge, created through a generous matching grant of $100,000 from the Steelcase Foundation. Any new United Way gift of $1,000 or more from a workplace of 100 or less employees will be matched up to a total of $100,000 by the end of March 2012.
 
Small businesses are the heart of most communities, yet during the 2010 United Way Campaign small businesses of 100 employees or less made up only 11.5% of total campaign dollars. This campaign year, United Way is hoping to change that with the Small Business Challenge.
