Dear Erin’s House Community,
As we reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, I am thrilled to share the progress we have made together in advancing the mission of Erin’s House. In 2023, we began our capital campaign for The Wing, expanded our support in schools and community organizations, celebrated 30 years of service, and continued to provide the community with grief programs, camps, resources, and education, all free of charge.
The Wing | Grief Resources for Young Adults
We began our capital campaign last year and are so grateful to have raised $1.1 million from the generous giving of individuals, foundations, and businesses in our community. The Wing will soon be an amazing addition and expansion to our Erin’s House services to support ages 18-25. Through 2024, we continue this capital campaign to raise a total of $2.3 million—all to make The Wing a reality for our young adults.
Expanding Support in Schools
In 2023, Erin’s House extended its reach and impact by providing grief support to over 800 students in schools and local organizations through our Classroom Companions and Identity Outreach programs. These initiatives have been instrumental in ensuring that students in elementary, middle, and high schools receive the care and support they need, even when they can’t make it to Erin’s House.
Lilly Endowment Grant
With a $1 million grant we received from Lilly Endowment, we will be investing in staff development, increased outreach initiatives, additional Erin’s House transportation, and much more over the next three years. Support like this helps Erin’s House to thrive and think outside of the box on big improvements and changes to enhance our organization.
With your continued support, we will be able to touch the lives of many more young hearts in the years to come. We are truly grateful to have you as an essential part of our mission of empowering our youth and programs. Thank you once again for your unwavering commitment.
