Each year, we have a number of ways to get involved in our non-profit. A key role to play is to become a financial partner or a corporate sponsor. Your partnership will benefit this cause in 2 ways.
- Donating to the Out of the Ashes Grant fund. When a family goes through a miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility challenges, or infant loss, they face the same medical expenses, deductibles and copays as those associated with a live birth. We know first hand how distressing it can be to come home after losing a child and have a medical bill arrive in the mail. We want to alleviate the financial burden from grieving parents so they can focus on navigating a new normal with their families. Your financial donation, which will be fully tax-deductible, will go towards growing our fund, which will help provide for more of these bereaved families.
- Offsetting our operating expenses as a corporate sponsor. As an organization, we are in need of paid staff, supplies and shipping costs for our Care Packs and Bereaved Mother’s Day gifts, and funding for our fundraising events, including our 5k in the fall.
- Offsetting our annual 5k expenses as a race sponsor. Each year at the race, our hope is to be able to host a special evening for our families. In the past, this has included the a racing company to manage timing, provision of snacks, water, and alcoholic beverages, a gift for each participant, medals and awards for our placing runners, and various activities throughout the evening. Your race sponsorship will help offset the expenses to make this event a success. See below for the different levels of sponsorship.
