Become a Small Business Steward.

Help us cultivate a strong foundation as we establish a physical space dedicated to trauma-informed and grief-informed care and design. Our goal is to create an accessible and supportive environment that addresses a variety of physical, emotional, and spiritual needs for those navigating grief. We aim to support people through one of life’s most profound and complex emotional experiences—grief—by providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can feel, heal, and process.

As The Grief Room continues to grow and expand its offerings into physical space, we are seeking like-minded partners who share our commitment to honoring space for emotional expression, education, and healing. We would love to invite you to consider becoming a steward or donor, supporting the important work we do while also gaining visibility among our compassionate, engaged community.

  • Becoming a sponsor of The Grief Room is an opportunity to align your business or organization with a deeply meaningful cause, while promoting your services or products in a setting that encourages healing, care, and emotional support.

    Your sponsorship will support our work in not only providing a sanctuary for grief but also expanding our grief literacy initiatives. We aim to break the stigma around grief, normalize it as a natural part of life, and equip individuals with the tools they need to heal in healthy, mindful ways.

  • Your sponsorship or donation will directly fund the continued design and enhancement of The Grief Room, ensuring it remains a safe and nurturing environment for those in need. Funds will be allocated toward:

    • Designing and Furnishing the Space: Creating a peaceful atmosphere with comfortable furniture and soothing decor.

    • Providing Materials for Engagement: Art supplies, journals, books, and other therapeutic tools to support creative and emotional processing for the mind, body, and spirit.

    • Offering Free or Reduced Rates for Grief Support: A portion of funds will support offering subsidized or free services to individuals from disenfranchised communities, including those who face economic hardship, systemic barriers, or other challenges that may prevent them from accessing grief support. We are committed to ensuring that financial limitations do not prevent anyone from receiving the emotional healing they need.

    • Ongoing Enhancements and Community Offerings: Improving the space and developing new grief literacy resources and community offerings.

    With your support, we can create a more powerful and welcoming experience for everyone who walks through our doors, offering them the emotional support container and creative outlets they need to navigate and honor their grief.
