Greater Ottawa County United Way Online

Thank you Ottawa County - together we raised $2,021,693 in the 2008-09 Community Campaign to advance the common good in our communities!

Underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do ...

We are all people—connected, interdependent, united.

And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.

GIVE.  ADVOCATE.  VOLUNTEER. LIVE UNITED.

Greater Ottawa County United Way is ... all of us. We are local people finding cost-effective solutions to local problems—and finding ways to prevent problems from happening in the first place.

We are in the business of community impact, improving lives by mobilizing communities to create sustained changes.

We do this by a proactive year-round approach that includes:

Annual Community Campaign (fundraising)

Community Investment Process (allocations)

Community Volunteerism

Community Assessment

We create the building blocks of a better life in four impact areas:

Emergency Assistance & Basic Human Needs

Education

Financial Stability

Health
