2016 TGRC Financial Report

Program Revenue—24%

2016 Revenue: $702,855 (Includes $88,170 in restricted funds for 2017 and

$127,000 from Capital Campaign)

Oh, what an extraordinary year!

When an opportunity arose mid-year to invest in a historic

building, staff doubled-down and the community rallied quickly

raising money to secure a down payment and moving

headquarters. This was above and beyond an already ambitious plan

for 2016, which was also magnificently actualized!

I’m humbled by the ever increasing demand for service, and both the

extent to which we’ve been able to extend care and the demand that

continues to exceed our capacity to serve. The outpouring of generosity

shores us up to carry on.

As we move forward, we will continue to prioritize partnerships

and education to extend our collective reach while maintaining

the highest quality of care.

And we will continue to thrive to not only provide excellence in grief

care, but to be an exemplary nonprofit—stretching every dollar, ensuring quality programming, and solidifying a sustainable center to

ensure that these valuable programs will be here to serve as healing touchstones for years and

years to come.
