MCHS PLANNED GIVING

WHERE YOUR JOURNEY BECOMES THEIR FUTURE

Create Your Legacy

At MCHS Family of Services, we’ve spent more than a century providing care, hope, and stability to children, young adults, families, and older adults across Michigan. From foster care and transitional housing to mental health services and community support, your generosity makes real transformation possible.

Planned giving gives you a meaningful way to extend your values beyond your lifetime and ensure MCHS continues to transform lives for generations to come. By including MCHS in your estate plans, you create a lasting legacy of compassion, care, and opportunity for those who need it most.

WHY PLANNED GIVING MATTERS

Every child deserves a safe home. Every family deserves support. And every person deserves the opportunity to thrive. Your planned gift ensures that MCHS can continue fulfilling this promise—long into the future. Whether you choose to include MCHS in your will, name us as a beneficiary of a retirement account, or support our mission through other planned gifts, your impact will ripple through the lives of hundreds of families across Michigan.

Planned giving is flexible and can fit your personal, family, and financial goals.​ Some common ways to give include:

A gift through your will or trust that directs a specific amount or percentage of your estate to MCHS.

Name MCHS as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life
insurance policy, or other financial asset.

Charitable trusts or annuities can provide income to you or your loved ones while also supporting MCHS.

Donate appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds), real estate (residential, commercial, or vacation property), personal property (art, collectibles), or other valuable assets. These gifts may offer tax advantages while creating a meaningful impact.

Contribute to a fund that pays income to you or others, with the
remainder supporting MCHS.

(Please consult your financial or legal advisor to identify the options that best suit your situation.)
