Make a Charitable Donation The Center for the Childbearing Year provides a variety of classes and services to a growing number of people each year throughout southeastern Michigan. In 2005, over 900 people participated in our programs due to the generous support of individuals, businesses, and foundations. Fees for services pay for 35% of our costs. The remaining funds are raised from individual annual giving, foundation grants, and special events. Your support is greatly appreciated. All gifts are tax deductible.
