Looking back on 2014, we made great strides ensuring that kids and adults
don’t have to grieve alone. Additional skilled staff, with the backing of generous
supporters and trained volunteers, allowed us to maintain program quality while
welcoming 3,296 participants to grief support and education programs. This was
an increase of 46% from 2013! This report outlines the enormous impact made
through programs, as well as the organizational strength of TGRC.

Honoring Grief • Celebrating Life
2014 Annual Report
516 South Orange Street, Missoula, MT 59801 | 406.541.8472 [email protected] | TamarackGriefResourceCenter.org
The compassion demonstrated is absolutely unreal. I cannot
imagine a better place my girls could be in at this time in
their lives. Thank you for all you are. - Parent
“ “
We are each touched by
love and loss as we move
through our days. And,
the strength of the human
spirit never ceases to amaze
and inspire. As I reflect
on the past year and the
organizational growth on
every level, it doesn’t escape
me for a second that so very
many kind people are part
of the mission to help others
re-access their strength after
loss. These bright lights –
donors, volunteers, staff,
and fellow participants –are
ever so willing to help hold
hope for another, until they
can find hope on their own.
Shine on, dear friends of
Tamarack Grief Resource
Center.
