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.
