Support the Future

The Foundation can also assist you to make a tax-saving gift through your will, trust or other estate plans that will support the future of care for individuals with disabilities. For more information please contact Staci Coomer via email or call 616.248.5205.

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.
