Giving Opportunities
Together, We Build a Compassionate Community.
Your financial support makes a difference in the lives of grieving children, families, and individuals.
Michael’s Place has been 100% community-funded since its inception, and our programs are provided to the individuals and families we serve without the barrier of cost. We are grateful for your investment in our mission.
It is crucial that grief support services are accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation, as death affects all people equally. Many families already face significant financial strain due to the passing of a loved one, dealing with medical expenses, funeral costs, and loss of income. To sustain our mission, Michael’s Place depends significantly on financial contributions to keep our operations running smoothly.
Your Gift Provides Hope.
There are many ways to provide financial support to Michael’s Place – some ways provide funding right away, and others allow for future giving. Gifts may be made in memory or in honor of a loved one. Please know that you will receive a receipt for your tax-deductible contribution, as Michael’s Place is a 501(c) 3 organization.
GIFTS OF CASH
Michael’s Place secures its operating funds through a variety of sources, including church collections, community organizations, local businesses, fundraising events, and grants. However, the primary source of revenue comes from individual donors. Both one-time cash donations and recurring automatic deductions play a crucial role in our daily operations and are tax-deductible.

STOCKS, BONDS, AND MUTUAL FUNDS
Gifting stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is one of the most advantageous and simplest methods of giving. Donations of stocks or mutual funds could qualify for a tax deduction based on their full market value at the time of the gift. Additionally, the donor may be able to bypass capital gains taxes on the appreciation of stocks or real estate. It’s advisable to speak with your tax preparer or financial advisor regarding gifts of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
ESTATE PLANNING
Many donors elect to allocate a portion of their estate to Michael’s Place. This is a thoughtful and appreciated way to leave a legacy of hope and generosity. If you are looking for a financial planner or need assistance, contact Michael’s Place for referral options.
MATCHING GIFTS PROGRAMS
Corporate matching gift programs are charitable giving programs established by companies that match donations made by employees to qualifying nonprofit organizations. Contact your employer for their matching gift form.
