Professional Volunteer Corps
Professional Volunteer Corps is a membership based volunteer and social organization for single people over 25 that has something for everyone. We lend a helping hand on community projects for local non-profits – and offer social activities such as restaurant club, movies, theater, festivals, game nights, a walking group and more!
Washtenaw Coordinated Funders
The Washtenaw Coordinated Funders are a collaboration of the Office of Community Development (representing the City of Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, and Washtenaw Urban County), the United Way of Washtenaw County, the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation, and the RNR Foundation.
The Washtenaw Coordinated Funders seek to better coordinate our funding of human service programs in Washtenaw County around shared priorities. This effort involves better sharing of information among us, closer work with local nonprofits to establish common community goals, and increased cooperation in our funding decisions.
