The New York Life Foundation, in partnership with the National Alliance for Children’s Grief, is excited to announce a new pilot funding opportunity for organizations. This grant will award ten individual $10,000 grants to fund local education events that equip professionals—such as teachers, counselors, and social workers—with the skills and knowledge they need to better support bereaved children in their communities. Funding from this grant will support access to free or low-cost, high-quality training and foster collaboration in community settings. If you are planning an education event this year that you believe will broadly impact professionals serving bereaved children in your community, we encourage you to apply. Those awarded grants will be required to complete a post-event report.
Organizations with a total revenue of $100,000 or greater based on their most recent 990 are eligible to apply for this competitive grant opportunity.
