Expansion

Start a Family Honor Fund where you live.

You know your county. You know its churches and its funeral homes. We will bring the training, the structure and the national backing.

How it works

Four steps to launch.

01

Conversation

A call with our team about your county, your churches and what already exists there.

02

Steering team

Three to five local leaders, ideally including a pastor and someone who has lost a child.

03

Church partners

Recruit at least three partner congregations who commit to respond and to train volunteers.

04

Fund opens

Your county page goes live, local giving begins, and the first call is answered.
