Support Michigan’s Kids, your way.
Together, we can create brighter, better futures for our young people.
IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF OUR CHILDREN STARTS WITH YOU.
At the Children’s Foundation, your generosity becomes real impact for Michigan’s kids. We believe every child deserves the chance to thrive—and if you share that belief, let’s work together to make that a reality.
Choose your approach
From immediate gifts to long-term plans, every way you give makes a difference. Our flexible, tax-wise options allow you to support Michigan’s children today while building a healthier future for tomorrow. We invite you to explore the giving approach that is right for you:
You can give quickly and easily with a check, credit card, cash, or securities. Give online, by phone, or by mail, and you’ll receive a thank-you letter for your contribution.
Planned giving creates a lasting legacy by helping future generations of children thrive. It also allows you to support kids while meeting your retirement and estate planning goals. Learn how planned giving can support your goals.
We also welcome non-cash gifts such as real estate, art, or jewelry. These donations may qualify for a tax receipt based on fair market value, offering potential tax savings. Our team can guide you through the process.
Honor or remember someone special with a gift to the Children’s Foundation. Your donation supports the health and well-being of kids and families, creating impact that lasts. Each gift is acknowledged with a letter, and the amount remains confidential. Celebrate someone important in your life.
Corporations of all sizes play a vital role in advancing our mission. By supporting the Children’s Foundation your company demonstrates its commitment to giving back and helping children in our community thrive. There are many ways to get involved.
