Often participants ask, “How can you do all of this for free?”  The answer is, caring and generous donors make our grief support work possible.  Foundations, businesses, faith-based and healthcare organizations as well as individuals help fund CGSS because they recognize that grief support services benefit our community and they appreciate that we “give” those services to those in need (see Our Supporters).  With a staff of two full-time and one part-time employee, CGSS provided direct help to more than 1100 people in 2010.

Folks who have received our help often ask how they can make sure CGSS services are available for other grieving people.  We encourage them to consider two options:  financial support if they are able, or as volunteer workers. 

So – how can you help?

CGSS is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization and donations are fully tax deductible.

At some time in our lives, each of us will experience the devastating pain of loss.  Through your gift, bereaved adults can rebuild their lost future and once again find hope and happiness in life.
