Partnership Opportunities Explore collaborations with pediatric clinics, hospitals, schools, and community organizations to refer children and run co-branded grief-support programs. Leverage a proven local track record serving families since its founding, and a non-clinical group model based on play and art therapy that complements clinical care.

Funding Opportunities Pursue diversified funding through grants, corporate sponsorships, and community fundraising in the Tampa Bay area. Highlight impact of reducing long-term mental health risks from unresolved grief to attract funders. Offer tiered sponsorships for events and program expansion across schools and partner sites.

Digital Outreach Increase digital engagement to raise awareness and enroll participants: optimize the website, expand social media storytelling, develop online groups or webinars, and use donor and volunteer data to tailor outreach. Leverage existing tech assets such as video content on YouTube and online collaboration tools to scale operations.

Expansion Readiness Position the program for growth beyond the current locale by developing a scalable curriculum, standardized facilitator training, and partnerships with regional mental health organizations. Consider a replication model or licensing to enable other communities to adopt the peer grief support approach while ensuring adherence to the non-therapy framework.

Staffing & Training With a small to mid-size team, there is an opportunity to monetize training services for other nonprofits and schools, such as grief support facilitation, play and art therapy informed activities, and program evaluation. Build capacity with volunteer engagement and staff development to support expansion and sustainability.
