Two Million Visits
With over two million website visits a year, griefHaven continues to provide the love, education, and support needed by people around the world. Just think…over two million visits a year! THAT is a lot of people who might not otherwise have anywhere to go for the effective and loving help they need. Because we are a unique organization providing a huge variety of different types of grief support, there is always something for everyone at any time during their grief journey.
Without Donations
Without donations, griefHaven would no longer exist. We are dependent upon the generosity of those who give any amount so that we may continue providing the love, education, and support to those in need. Fifty donations of $10 adds up, so no amount is too small.
So Thanks
Thank you for whatever amount you are able to give. Donations to our foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. We take your privacy seriously and never share any information with anyone else.
