Supporting Grieving Teens Grants

Hospice Foundation of America announces its new funding program to support grieving young people ages 13—17. Applicants must be non-profit hospices or other non-profit bereavement organizations whose programs are available to the entire community in which they are located. Hospice Foundation of America will award one $10,000 grant for program-related expenses (including but not limited to purchase of equipment or materials, publications, or other curriculum-related materials.) Priority will be given to programs who offer innovative programs for young people ages 13—17, with a special priority given to programs that focus on outreach to diverse populations. HFA will also award a number of smaller $1,000 grants for noteworthy programs.

• Primary contact: Name, address, phone # and email

  • Mission statement
  • Number of professional staff and volunteers
