COMMUNITY PARTNERS · WALKING ALONGSIDE FAMILIES

For the people who help families remember.

Hospices, hospitals, libraries, funeral homes, senior centers, and nonprofits can refer families and sponsor free access for those who cannot pay.

Hospice

Helping families preserve a life in its last season.

Hospital

Supporting families through sudden loss and long illness.

Library

Community-history and local memory projects.

Church / faith community

Remembering the lives at the heart of a congregation.

Senior center

Capturing stories while there's still time to ask.

Funeral home

Offering families a lasting archive alongside a service.

Social worker

Foster, adoptive, and vulnerable families.

Veterans' services

Preserving the stories of those who served.

Nonprofit

Mission-aligned organizations serving families.

Current partnerships

We list partnerships here only once they are formal and in writing — and our first formal agreements are being formed now, starting with hospice, library, and senior-center conversations in the Wilmington area. If your organization serves families through loss, illness, or memory change, reach us through the help page — a conversation costs nothing and helps a family either way.

Sponsored access

Partners can sponsor free access for families who cannot pay — funded through the commons and the Family Memory Fund. Sponsored families are never billed and never lose their archive.

Partnership never buys control

Partnership and sponsorship never buy control over the mission. A partner helps families remember; they do not gain votes, priority, or influence over policy.

Free materials for your teams

Our care-team legacy guide, workshop kit, printable interview materials, and the six-session Remembrance Curriculum are free to use with or without us — see resources, and our named programs on the programs page. Want to offer DearestEllie from your own site? The embed kit takes five minutes.
