Mission and programs · 2024

• The Children's Grief Center of the Great Lakes Bay Region provides compassionate, no cost grief support for children and teens ages 4 to 18. Through our grief support programs, we help young people navigate loss with understanding, connection and hope. In 2024, we served more than 700 children and 500 caregivers across Midland, Bay and Saginaw counties, reaching far beyond our original service area: 16 counties in all. Our school-based programs expanded from 40 to 55 schools, providing daytime grief groups that remove barriers such as cost and transportation. Evening peer-support groups were held at our Midland home office, Unity of Bay City, and the MidMichigan Children's Museum in Saginaw, allowing families to participate close to home. Programs were facilitated by trained professionals and volunteers using creative, developmentally appropriate activities such as art, journaling, play and guided discussions to help children process emotions and build coping skills. Our team now includes more than 80 dedicated volunteers and multiple university interns studying counseling and social work. Each contributes to a trauma-informed, supportive environment that empowers grieving children and families to heal together.

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
