Donate

For almost 40 years, CTC has provided innovative therapy programs to under-served children with developmental disabilities across West Michigan. We not only focus on children’s therapy, but we also work with families, inspire youth volunteers, and recruit and train therapy students from universities. We serve hundreds of children every month, and in the summer, shape the future leaders of community-driven nonprofit healthcare.
It’s you that makes that possible.

It’s Impactful

It’s Sustainable

Monthly gifts provide predictable donations, which in turn helps us to plan for the future. In 2023, we were able to give $75,000 in scholarships for Therapy & Fun, and $25,000+ in scholarships for clinic services thanks to donors like you, which allowed 100% of our uninsured families to be recipients of assistance. We are able to offer more services when we can count on monthly donors. 

It’s a Community

Our Goal For AAC Lending Library

In the work we do at our clinic, our therapists have watched many of our clients thrive after being introduced to AAC devices. Currently, we have the means to use these devices in the clinic and in session with our therapists. But what happens after the client leaves our office?

One major challenge we’ve identified is that this technology is cost-prohibitive for many of our CTC families. It can also take insurance companies a long time to approve or reimburse families for the funds for a device. Unfortunately, this means that many of our clients don’t always have reliable and accessible means of communication at home.

To address this, CTC wants to build an AAC device lending library for our families. This would allow us the opportunity to provide our clients with a reliable way to communicate until they can get a more permanent device. But as a small non-profit, we need your help! We are asking for donations from our community to fund this library. Every contribution, big or small, helps bring us closer to our goal and creates a lasting impact on our clients as they grow and develop.

FUNdational Builders

Join our community of FUNdation Builders by sponsoring a child for one season of Therapy & Fun! Cost can be prohibitive for some families, but your sponsorship builds the foundation needed to create access to therapies for children who would otherwise go without.

Many of our families are below the poverty line, with exacerbated financial hardships due to having a family member with a disability. Some families qualify to have Therapy & Fun covered under insurance, but for those who don’t, we can keep the cost to $1500 out-of-pocket on average. Your donation of $1500 would allow us to lower the price for one family in need.

FUNdation Builders get access to exclusive updates, success stories, and gratitude videos from sponsored children, a Therapy & Fun shirt, and an opportunity to be a part of our final day celebration!

Join the exclusive group of supporters who make a significant difference in a child’s life— with just 56 sponsorship opportunities in 2025! Reach out to Savana Beal at sbeal@therapycenter.org for more information.
