Why donate?

By donating to Big Brothers Big Sisters, you are joining our mission of positively affecting children in your community and your donations stay in your community serving children in your community. We have programs in Clare, Gladwin, Roscommon, Meceola and Osceola counties. Every day, we work tirelessly to change the perspectives of children and give them an opportunity to achieve great things. But without donations, we couldn’t offer our mentoring services.

 

It’s not just a donation. It’s an investment in a child’s future.

When you donate online to Mid Michigan Big Brothers Big Sisters, you join our cause and directly support children. No matter how little or big the amount, donating can start making a difference in the lives of young people around you.

 

Donating pays dividends.

Research shows that our mentoring works. Children with a Big Brother or Big Sister show real differences in their personal and academic lives. They are more confident in their schoolwork performance, they get along better with their families and they’re 52% less likely to skip school.

 

Your support goes far.

Your financial support helps us provide our programs and services nationally and in your local community—so we can develop more college grads, community leaders and entrepreneurs.

 

Your financial support starts lots of things, like:

• Recruiting new Big Brother and Big Sister volunteers

• Covering the costs of background checks, while ensuring trained professionals match Littles to responsible Bigs

• Enabling ongoing supervision and relationship support for every Big, Little and Little’s family

• Providing cultural and social activities to enrich the opportunities for children
