Make big changes in our community!

When your company sponsors OutCenter Southwest Michigan you are investing in a richer diversity of talent and community that impacts LGBTQ+ employers, employees, and families. And this means an improvement in the quality of life for everyone including you, your family, and your employees and their families. Research shows that when community areas and employees represent the rich diversity of our human community we see:

• Growth in consumer markets through increased tourism and population growth

• Increased support from state and regional governments

More inclusive communities through:

• Improved mental and physical health

• Decreased stressors regarding discrimination and safety

• Improved quality of life for employees and their families This means a better brand and better bottom line.
