UWM Partners with Grace Centers of Hope to Match GivingTuesday Donations Up to $40,000

Pontiac, December 2, 2024 – United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), #1 overall lender in America, announced a partnership with Grace Centers of Hope (GCH) to match all donations up to $40,000 as part of their GivingTuesday campaign on December 3.

Established in 2012, GivingTuesday is a national event that takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and encourages people to give back to their communities in whatever ways they can. Funds raised during GivingTuesday will directly support GCH programs aimed at assisting individuals facing homelessness and addiction. These contributions will provide essential resources, including food, clothing and shelter for the men, women and children currently enrolled in GCH programs.

“Our partnership with Grace Centers of Hope reflects our commitment to investing in our community and we are aligned with their mission to positively influence the lives of others,” said UWM Chief People Officer Laura Lawson. “Having personally volunteered with them in the past, I can attest to the incredible impact of their work. I’m excited to see the positive change this collaboration will create, especially as we approach the holiday season.”

Headquartered in Pontiac, GCH is one of the largest faith-based, long-term life skills programs dedicated to positively changing the lives of those afflicted with homelessness, chemical dependency and abuse in southeast Michigan.

“As the holidays approach and the weather gets colder, the need to support Michigan residents recovering from addiction, abuse and homelessness will be high. United Wholesale Mortgage is a longtime supporter of our community, and we are thrilled with their generous backing for this special event,” said GCH COO Darin Weiss. “At Grace Centers of Hope, we are truly blessed year-round by the community’s generosity, and especially thankful for support during the critical fundraising time of GivingTuesday and the holiday season.”

As part of the Dec. 3 fundraiser, both Weiss and Pastor Kent W. Clark, Grace Centers of Hope CEO, will be appearing live on radio station WMUZ (AM 1200) from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. promoting GivingTuesday.
