United Way's $100,000 Small Business Challenge
Heart of West Michigan United Way is inviting small businesses to take on the Small Business Challenge. The Steelcase Foundation has created a matching grant specifically for small businesses, and it matches dollar-for-dollar United Way donations of $1000 or more from companies with 100 or less employees.
The Challenge stretches small business donation dollars and becomes part of one of West Michigan's largest community efforts. Corporate gifts, employee workplace campaigns or special event proceeds - all gifts $1000 and above will be matched.
If you or someone you know owns a small business, please contact United Way's Specialized Market Manager, Linda Kiander, at lkiander@hwmuw.org or 616.752.8630 to learn more. |

AmeriCorps VISTA Profile: Maegan Pulley
 The Volunteer Center is thrilled to welcome Maegan Pulley to our ranks! Maegan is a recent graduate from Davenport University with a degree in Business Management and a passion for civic engagement.
While at Davenport, Maegan worked in their on-campus volunteer center and was deeply impacted by her role as leader for a group of volunteers on a week-long Alternative Spring Break trip.
"Participating in the Alternative Break movement increased my desire to remain an active citizen and engage others in the community," Maegan shared.
With her experience and passion for volunteerism, Maegan is a natural fit for the Volunteer Center. In just a few short weeks, she has already proven herself a very valuable asset to our team!

What is VISTA?
AmeriCorps VISTA is a federal national service program founded in 1965 to fight poverty. Short for Volunteers in Service to America, VISTA members commit to working 40 hours a week for one year, tackling projects such as illiteracy, healthcare, and other community issues. The Volunteer Center has benefited from the service of three VISTAS: Kristian Grant, Teresa Zbiciak and now, Maegan. |
