Grief Reach
The New York Life Foundation, in partnership with the National Alliance for Children’s Grief, is requesting grant proposals through the Grief Reach Program. The focus of this cycle is Grief Support in School Communities. For children who grieved at home in the past year, the return to school post-pandemic presents a challenge. Losses grieved in isolation must now find space in a classroom environment. The New York Life Foundation and the National Alliance for Children’s Grief through this program are powering up bereavement organizations in communities to support schools in the grief work that must be done. This is a critical investment in these students but also in the communities they live in. We look forward to partnering with you.
