$60,000 Goal
Those who experience the loss of a loved one want friends, family, and colleagues to understand the intensity of the pain, the constant yearning to be with their loved one, the lingering sorrow, and the difficulty of celebrating joys.Through our peer-to-peer grief support programs, we aim to raise awareness about the grief process and offer practical ways to support grievers in your community. We answer the question: "My friend is grieving, what can I say or do?"
Faith & Grief's impact:
• Over 20,000 grievers served since 2011
• 1,750+ participants welcomed over the last year alone
• 18 new facilitators trained this year
• Each trained volunteer goes on to support the grief journey of 100+ people
• Over 7,000 people listened to the Faith & Grief podcast last year
Our mission is to provide opportunities for comfort and hope to those who have experienced the death of a loved one. Your donation supports our collaborations with and training of local organizations to offer in-person and online grief support programs, fostering a sense of community for shared stories and compassionate listening.
Grief should be witnessed and is not something you "get over" or "finish".
Your donation impacts all grievers seeking access to care so they can begin living again.
Every gift provides transformative grief support to those who have lost a loved one.

The Impact of a Faith & Grief Retreat
"Together, we all prayed, laughed, and hugged in a sacred space where grief took center stage, but that was OK. I was overwhelmed and sometimes flooded by the depth of emotion and the vulnerability of our mourning at Mo.
This is what we discovered in this gorgeous, poignant, agonizing place—together. We will learn to carry the joy of their lives along with the agony of their losses. " -Elaine Gantz Wright

Our mission is to provide opportunities for comfort and hope to those who have experienced the death of a loved one. In all that we do, we value:
- Gifts of all spiritual beliefs
- A community that understands the complexity of grief
- Compassion revealed in silence, tears, and laughter
- Stories that speak the truth and promote wholeness
As a grief support organization, we provide opportunities for comfort & hope for all who have experienced the death of a loved one. We recognize that an individual's experiences in grief and ones' responses to those experiences are their own. Those experiences and responses in grief are influenced by race, gender, class, sexuality, faith, ability, and/or other aspects of identity of the person who is grieving. With humility and respect, we recognize and validate each individual's experience as they share their grief journey with us.
We cultivate a multi-faith, diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture in our organization and grief support programming.
We create safe spaces that are intentional, equitable and considerate of the diverse needs of different people as they grieve.
We cultivate supportive resources for grieving people, being mindful of the origins of the content and source material.
