Services include free, peer-based grief support groups for families with children and teens aged 3 1/2 - 18, offered at our Arlington center, as well as in schools and community centers. We serve youth and families throughout eastern Massachusetts. We also provide programs exclusively designed to meet the unique needs of grieving teens; educational series for grieving parents and caregivers; monthly arts-based family nights; professional training; a robust referral warmline; and private consultations. All our programming is offered free of charge to grieving families who have experienced the death of a parent or child, knowing that death is often coupled with financial hardship. During FY23 we served 105 families (120 adults and 158 children/teens), and had a total teen event attendance of 106, including 55 teens attending for the first time. Family Night served approximately 50 unique families, totaling 139 individuals. Parenting While Grieving, a 6-week psych-educational didactic support group for spouse/partner loss, worked with 63 adults. Our community-based peer support groups served 15 schools and 111 students. We also served 696 families and professionals with our information and referral services via either email or phone. 1180598 true true false false false false false false true true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 16 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false MA X X Jon Gay Executive Director 7816414741 1210 Massachusetts Avenue Arlington MA 02476 X Jon Gay Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 161480 0 4593 Iroso Onamade Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anne Favaloro Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Emmanuel Ebot Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Parmpreet Kalsi Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Gildea Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Orazem Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christine Tangishaka Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Fanger Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Angelo Firenze Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Edgar DeLeon Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Lazarus Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joy Fisher-Williams SFC Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sam Peper Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Crissy Straub Board Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John DeCecca Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 161480 0 4593 1 false true false 99591 1686124 1785715 Training Income 624100 4250 4250 4250 109521 109521 99591 Other Income 624100 72 72 72 1899558 4322 0 109521 161480 80740 40370 40370 992778 738783 28886 225109 16934 12023 1016 3895 80426 60023 1905 18498 95929 70987 2878 22064 66557 66557 26209 26209 31938 27662 493 3783 30738 22784 940 7014 32704 24201 981 7522 8153 8153 Supplies and expenses 87422 80059 4545 2818 Online services and fees 44319 28664 15655 Event expenses 32870 32870 Prof Dev 8463 8463 1716920 1180598 172379 363943 163357 187186 1012904 1017728 1197979 1175007 1275 2946 11036 11107 1387552 478526 941730 909026 682387 763983 4010668 4066983 120292 58966 489466 424469 609758 483435 X 2202931 2408541 1197979 1175007 3400910 3583548 4010668 4066983 182638 0 X false true X false false X 1349257 1428676 1719221 1867589 1785715 8150458 1349257 1428676 1719221 1867589 1785715 8150458 105682 8044776 24046 37388 -28275 59394 109521 202074 583 190 72 845 8353377 0.96310 0.97480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 221044 47278 268322 200625 20419 221044 227762 16926 244688 194285 33477 227762 187872 6413 194285 false false 127000 127000 1247284 432554 814730 13268 45972 -32704 909026 1899650 92 92 1899558 1899558 1717012 92 92 1716920 1716920 Breakfast 99591 99591 32870 99591 99591 32870 32870 -32870 false false false false false false Jon Gay Executive Director 161480 4593 166073 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 The 990 was reviewed and discussed in detail by the Board chairs, the Treasuer, the Executive Director, and other members of the Finance Committee.The entire Board received the 990 for review prior to filing.
