In Southeastern Michigan, nearly 40 percent of families struggle to meet their basic needs. At United Way, we mobilize a network of hundreds of partners and thousands of donors, advocates and volunteers to build equitable communities where households are stable and children thrive.

All people experience authentic inclusion and have equitable access to resources and opportunities
United Way for Southeastern Michigan is committed to deconstructing systemic racism and institutional bias while promoting diversity, equity and inclusion as a core value in every aspect of our work.
Families can meet their basic needs and access financial skills, resources and support
If families can’t meet their basic needs now, they can’t prepare for the future. Through our 2-1-1 helpline and strategic investment in our partner organizations, we help people get out of crisis—and stay out.
