Establishing a new fund is typically a reason for celebration at a foundation, but this becomes more complex when the donors are grieving the loss of a loved one. This webinar will explore the topic of grief and how it affects families, whether it’s the tragic loss of a young person or a beloved elderly spouse. Rev. Ken Weaver, Hospice Chaplain for Parkview Health, will lead a discussion about the grieving process. The second half of the webinar will feature two community foundation CEOs sharing their advice and experiences working with grieving donors. We’ll explore motivations donors may have for starting a fund while grieving, share tips for navigating those tough conversations, and identify things within your control that can make the situation easier to manage. 
 

This program is part of the Midwest Partnership Series, a collaboration between IPA, Council of Michigan Foundations, Philanthropy Missouri, and Philanthropy Ohio.
