Charities
The CSA of West Michigan has always put an emphasis on the needs not just of our security community but the larger community as well. Below are the “official” charities of the West Michigan CSA with links to how you can donate or get involved. We truly believe in the amazing work that all of these organizations are doing and hope that you will join us in supporting them as well.

We identify the root cause of the issue instead of continuing to apply bandaids to a wound that’s never healing. We provide the resources and support necessary for women of color to start and excel in tech careers/field worldwide.
