Donate Monetarily

Join our team of regular supporters who underwrite the core ministry of development that returns many benefits to the community through program grants and community improvement projects. Contact our Executive Director at 313.841.4447 and/or email to dnordmoe@unidetroit.org to initiate your donation.

We also accept online donations through the Network For Good non-profit program.

Equipment and Materials

• Lawn Tractor
• 12-15 passenger van or school bus in good condition
• Perennials and bulbs for our Park development projects

Food items: Pre-packaged nutritious snacks only. Other food items may be donated to the All Saints Loaves and Fishes Nutrition Center, 7824 W. Fort St. (313-841-1428, #5).

We cannot accept clothing donations as we have no storage facilities. However, batches of colored T shirts can be very useful in our youth programs.

Automobiles and trucks in good condition will be picked up by our affiliate, American Auto Auction, and sold to our benefit. Contact our Executive Director at 313.841.4447 and/or email to dnordmoe@unidetroit.org to initiate the process. Charity Motors also accepts vehicle donations on our behalf.

Popular classic vehicles in excellent condition can be accepted as donations and then raffled to achieve a three-fold advantage over the cash value of the donation.

Office Equipment Donation Program

Donate suites of commercial office furnishings and our business partner, Bargain Office, will pick up your equipment and sell it through their warehouse showrooms on Grand River in Detroit. UNI will receive a check for the wholesale value of the donation to support its core service of development. Your company will receive certification from our charity for your donation. Only commercial office furnishings in quantity qualify for this project.
