UWM, Grace Centers of Hope Team Up to Match $50,000 in Giving Tuesday Donations on Dec. 2

PONTIAC — United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), the nation's leading mortgage lender, is partnering with Grace Centers of Hope (GCH) for the second year to match all donations, up to $50,000, as part of their Giving Tuesday campaign on December 2.

Funds raised during Giving Tuesday 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.

“We’re so excited to continue this incredible partnership with Grace Centers of Hope,” said UWM Chief People Officer, Laura Lawson. “This organization makes such a positive impact on the community and truly embodies the spirit of giving, especially during the holiday season. We are honored to be part of this initiative once again and look forward to all the positive outcomes we will achieve together.”

Last year, UWM partnered with GCH, matching donations up to $40,000. The event was a record-breaking day, bringing in $130,000 total to help Grace Centers of Hope residents.

“United Wholesale Mortgage continues to be an extraordinary partner in our mission,” said Darin Weiss, CEO of Grace Centers of Hope. “A matching gift of this size isn’t just a donation, it’s a lifeline for those battling homelessness and addiction. Together, we’re able to provide real solutions, long-term care and renewed hope for the hundreds of individuals who rely on Grace Centers of Hope each year.”

As part of the Dec. 2 fundraiser, GCH’s Weiss will be appearing live on radio station WMUZ (AM 1200) from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. promoting Giving Tuesday.

Established in 2012, Giving Tuesday 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.
