Supporting Foster Youth and Grandchildren Raised by Grandparents
Standing with Michigan’s Foster Youth and Grandparents.
Big Family of Michigan is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to making sure no child is overlooked or forgotten. From birthdays and school supplies to aging-out essentials and Christmas gifts, we bring hope and support to foster youth from infancy through age 21.
With programs now reaching 45 of Michigan’s 83 counties, our mission is simple: ensure every child feels seen, supported, and loved — always at no cost to the children or their caregivers.

Mission Statement
Big Family of Michigan is a Michigan based, grassroots 501(c)3 Non-Profit supporting Foster Children from infancy through the age of 21. There is never a cost to the Children or their Caregiver(s).
Vision Statement
In Michigan, there are more Grandparents raising Grandchildren than there are Foster Children. The services for this sector are deficient, as often these families do not qualify for any assistance.
Our Vision is to ensure that all Forster Children and Foster Children being raised by Grandparents are not overlooked or forgotten.

The director and her volunteer staff are focused, determined, and passionate about making a positive difference in people’s lives.
Big Family is truly an organization worth donating to because the recipients directly benefit from their programs.
