Giving Opportunities

Together, We Build a Compassionate Community.

Your financial support makes a difference in the lives of grieving children, families, and individuals.

Since our founding in 2001, Michael’s Place has provided programs and services to individuals and families 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, including medical expenses, funeral costs, and loss of income. To sustain our mission, Michael’s Place depends on financial contributions.

Your Gift Provides Hope.

There are many ways to support Michael’s Place financially—some provide funding immediately, while others allow for future giving. Gifts may be made in memory or in honor of a loved one. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowable under current IRS regulations. Michael’s Place is a 501(c)3 organization with a tax ID of #38-3574270.

GIFTS OF CASH

Michael’s Place secures operating funds through a variety of sources, including fundraising events, grants, local businesses, church collections, and community organizations. 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.

STOCKS, BONDS, AND MUTUAL FUNDS

Gifting stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be simple and advantageous for the giver. Donations of stocks or mutual funds may qualify for a tax deduction based on their full market value at the time of the gift. You may be able to bypass capital gains taxes on the appreciation of stocks or real estate with your gift.

Michael’s Place accepts gifts of stocks and securities through our professional service provider, Brodeur Capital Management of Raymond James in Traverse City, MI. It’s advisable to speak with your tax preparer or financial advisor regarding gifts of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
