Deadline: Mar. 9, 2020 | July 17, 2020
“The New York Life Foundation in partnership with the National Alliance for Grieving Children is excited to soon announce the opening of the RFP cycle for Grief Reach, a grant program that will expand capacity and increase access of bereavement services for grieving youth with local organizations. The Foundation supports programs that benefit young people, particularly in the areas of educational enhancement and childhood bereavement. Childhood bereavement is one of society’s most pervasive issues: one in fourteen Americans will lose a parent or sibling before age 18 and the vast majority of children experience a significant loss by the time they complete high school. Yet bereaved children remain largely unseen and under-served within their communities and schools, with few outlets to express their grief.
The New York Life Foundation has committed $1.25 million up to thirty-seven grants to be given to organizations serving grieving children across the country. There are two different grant opportunities:
- Cycle 1: Community Expansion Grants: These grant funds may be used to expand services to bereaved children and youth.
- Cycle 2: Capacity Building Grants: Funds to enhance organizational capacity, development and effectiveness.”
Funder: The New York Life Foundation and the National Alliance for Grieving Children

Special consideration will be given to projects that are focused on providing resources for families affected by the opioid crisis with their grant proposal.”
