Help Us Stay Steady Though Uncertain Times
Recent funding cuts have deeply impacted YouthWork and other vital programs. By becoming a sustaining donor, you help ensure we can keep showing up for vulnerable youth—month after month, no matter what. Your ongoing support makes long-term impact possible.

Or choose a one-time gift that also helps provide critical support for children and families when they need it most. Every dollar goes directly toward programs that offer safety, healing, and hope. Whether it’s a crisis today or a better future tomorrow, your donation makes a real impact. Thank you for being part of the solution.

Child and Family Services supports the safety and well-being of those we serve in times of crisis, challenge, and life transition. We serve communities in more than 20 counties across Northern Michigan, helping families to heal and grow. In this time of uncertainty, there’s a fundamental truth that gives us hope –that together we can do extraordinary things.

Donating online is easy and secure, but we want you to be aware that there are some fees associated with online credit card donations. Donorbox charges 1.5% for using their platform, and Stripe charges 2.2% + $0.30 for non-Amex card transactions and 3.5% for Amex card transactions. 

Donorbox now offers ACH bank transfer (also known as eCheck) payments! In other words, you can now make donations through bank transfers instead of using credit cards.

This is particularly helpful for large donations, as credit card fees are almost three times more expensive than ACH fees. In fact, Stripe charges a 2.2% + $0.30 credit card fee for registered 501c3 nonprofits, while its ACH fee is only 0.80% and is capped at $5 (i.e. if you donate above $625, the fee remains at $5).

Send us a check to: CFS, 3785 Veterans Dr., Traverse City, MI 49684. For any questions, please give us a call at 231-946-8975.

And THANK YOU for your donation!
