We aim to honor our lost loved ones by returning the love and support that touched us during our own loss.
Giving
Our 2021 goal is to award $6,000 to families in the amount of $500 per family (supporting 12 families).
We award funds based on the following criteria:
Age
Financial need/Impact on household financials
Relevance to mission
Geographic proximity
Touching Souls foundation was founded in 2012 as a 501C3 Nonprofit Organization
Our Mission is to honor and remember loved ones who have died unexpectedly and provide financial support to their families.
Financials
Contributions donated to TSF support the needs of families who experience instant loss, without warning or opportunity to prepare, fundraise or say goodbye - primarily within the Mid-Michigan area. Funds may be used at the discretion of the family to cover any unexpected costs, bills and/or relief sought from their loss.
