COVID Grief Network
Review draft contact for fiscal sponsorship agreement
Help us craft a strong fiscal sponsorship contract to enable us to sustain and grow our work.
Posted June 17, 2021
Work & Deliverables
The COVID Grief Network is a volunteer-run mutual aid network, which facilitates the connection of young adults in their 20s and 30s who are grieving the illness or death of someone to COVID-19 to volunteer grief workers who are willing and able to offer free support. COVID Grief Network is currently pursuing a fiscal sponsorship from a mission-aligned 501c(3) organization. Fiscal sponsorship will allow us to sustain and scale our work providing free grief support to pandemic grievers. We have a draft fiscal sponsorship agreement written, and we are seeking someone with legal expertise in fiscal sponsorships and/or non-profits to review the agreement and provide feedback. We are looking for someone to review this draft within the next week. Thank you!
COVID Grief Network
The COVID Grief Network is a volunteer-run mutual aid network, which facilitates the connection of young adults in their 20s and 30s who are grieving the illness or death of someone to COVID-19 to volunteer grief workers who are willing and able to offer free support. Our mission at the COVID Grief Network is to provide short term grief support and build long term community for young adults who are grieving in the midst of this pandemic. Young adults in the network can access any combination of these three types of support: - Individual Grief Support: Young adults grieving due to COVID receive up to six one-on-one sessions with a volunteer grief worker. After these sessions, volunteer grief workers can refer young adults to local service agencies for long term support, as needed. All sessions occur by phone or video-conference. - Support groups: Groups of eight to twelve young adults in their 20s and 30s who’ve lost someone to COVID meet weekly for 1.5 hours over eight weeks. Groups are facilitated by a volunteer grief worker and take place over video-conference. - Online community: Our private young adult Facebook group is a space for young adults in the Network to connect and share their stories and experience. Since our launch in May 2020, CGN volunteers have provided free short-term grief support to nearly 500 young adults in over 40 U.S. states and 17 countries.
