Out of the Ashes Foundation

We empower the community to compassionately embrace those who are grieving the loss of a pregnancy, infant, or fertility with the love of Christ as a foundation for healing.

We do this by showing honor, providing help and restoring hope.

Show Honor

We acknowledge your grief, and want you to feel seen, known and surrounded. If you have lost a child, we will say their name. We design environments where conversation about them is normal. If you are longing for a child that has never come, we will make room for you to voice your disappointments and your dreams. We will bring in the community so that no one is walking alone. We acknowledge your loss, we honor your family, and we want others to know how to do the same. Click below to see a few ways we hold up this piece of our mission.

We envision a world equipped to embrace families experiencing the isolating grief of pregnancy loss, infant loss and infertility.

Provide Help

We know that nothing will mend the heartbreak and disappointment you are facing on the heels of loss – whether through loss of a child or a recent discovery of infertility. The road ahead is long, and the obstacles are great. We also know that the medical bills arriving in your mailbox are yet another unwelcome reality of your grief journey – one that can add stress and marital tension. We can help. Parents can apply for one of our Medical Bill Relief Grants, which will help offset related medical expenses, so you can get back to the hard work of healing.

Name a grant in memory of a child

Our grants are named in memory of a child or in honor of a family who has walked through a loss. When a grant recipient receives the acceptance letter, we will share the name and story of the child the grant was named for. Naming a grant for your child or as a gift to another family requires a one-time donation of $2,500+ or a monthly donation of $200/mo+.
