Chances are you probably already know someone who has benefited from the programs supported by Greater Kalamazoo United Way. The Greater Kalamazoo United Way provides strength and funding to health and human services programs and agencies so that they can care for your fellow community members. Their reach extends to everyone in Kalamazoo County who has received help from a health or human services agency at any time in their lives – from pre-natal care to hospice services
GKUW works to create lasting changes by uniquely bringing together human and financial resources from all sectors of our community to powerfully and positively impact our community.
GKUW gathers and carefully invests financial resources in programs that produce measureable results, organizes and harnesses the power of human resources into powerful solutions, adds value to your contributions by securing, administering and leveraging additional resources and leads or partners with our community in the hard – but necessary – work of improving lives. Make your donation to the Greater Kalamazoo United Way today and support 41 local health & human service agencies that serve the community through 60 different programs.
By investing in the GKUW, you help improve lives and deliver meaningful changes to our community. Whether you contribute to the Annual Campaign, hold a workplace campaign, or volunteer your time to the member agencies, your gift is a valuable asset to our community. If you would like to learn more about how you can help, please email information@gkuw.org or call (269) 343-2524.
