A Little Hope, Inc.

To reach as many marginalized and unserved youth in our cities and rural areas as possible.
Expand existing independent bereavement centers to multiple locations with their state - with each location having the ability to sustain itself financially.

1. Partner with existing organizations that are already financially sustainable in location of origin.
2. Bring in our consulting team of NFP experts to facilitate these expansions throughout the county.

While we receive many unsolicited requests to apply for funding, who meet the following criteria:
1. Organization has strong community support;
2. Growth in the number of children attending the program from year to year;
3. Organization offers a School Outreach Program;
4. Extensive training program for volunteers;
5. Verification of credentials of professionals running the program(s);
6. Offer grief counseling or have strong referral sources
7. Camps offer on-going after camp support programming.

A Little Hope, Inc., is the first national organization dedicated to raising awareness and the money to advance the growth of children's grief support and the expansion of bereavement centers and camps for grieving children and teens in the United States. In 14 years, we have grown from a regional organization funding 5 bereavement programs in the NY tri-state area, into a national foundation that has funded a total of 90 organizations in 38 states. We have helped provide services for more than 250,000 American children, teens and young adults.

We have been successful due to our experience in children's bereavement, strategic planning and our ability to build close relationships with many community based bereavement organizations.
