"We have given to Child and Family Services over the years because we believe in the work of the agency. We have seen its remarkable accomplishments."
- Gordon Cornwell,
former Board President & Trustee

Child and Family Services of Northwestern Michigan is known for its excellence in helping children and families in crisis. Since 1937, we have found adoptive and foster care homes for infants and children. The generosity of individuals, businesses and organizations has allowed us to expand services in response to new problems facing people. We now also provide emergency shelter care, family counseling, pregnancy counseling, special needs adoption and other community services. As pressures on families intensify, it is increasingly important that future generations have us to turn to for help in meeting life’s challenges.

Because they believe in causes that help children there are many reasons people choose to make a gift to us: to honor a friend or loved one, to show appreciation for help received as a child, or to mark a special occasion, event or milestone.

Donors may designate gifts for a special purpose. Unrestricted gifts are used in the area of greatest need.  You may prefer to direct your gift to the Child and Family Services Endowment Fund at either the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation (www.gtrcf.org) or the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Community Foundation (www.petoskey-harborspringsfoundation.org). Gifts made through the foundations qualify for the Michigan Community Foundation Income Tax Credit, and may be made in a variety of ways including cash, securities, real estate, bequests, and charitable trusts.

When you make a donation or bequest, you join a select group of donors who share your concern for the welfare of Northwestern Michigan’s children and families. A gift to us is one way people can assure that high quality, affordable services will be here for future generations in our communities.
