Mission
Doing Grief is a nonprofit organization that provides grief support, education, and community-based programs to individuals experiencing loss, and offers training and resources for those who support people in grief, with the purpose of promoting emotional well-being and reducing isolation.
Program accomplishments

These programs created accessible spaces for individuals experiencing loss to process grief, reduce isolation, and build supportive connections. The organization expanded outreach and strengthened community partnerships, including supporting a volunteer-led, self-sustaining grief support program. Participant feedback consistently indicated increased emotional support, connection, and reduced isolation.
