Side Foundation
The Sunny Side Foundation runs entirely on the generosity of people who choose to walk alongside grieving families. Here's how you can be part of it.
DONATE
Every gift goes directly to a family.
100% of donations fund care packages, financial grants, and community programs. There is no overhead between your generosity and the family who needs it. The Sunny Side Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) — every gift is tax-deductible.

GIVE IN KIND
Shop for Sunny Side
Our Amazon wishlist is updated with the items currently going into care packages — soft blankets, memorial candles, journals, comfort items. Anything sent through it ships directly to us, ready to be packed for the next family.
Every item on the list has been chosen by families who've been through this. It's a quiet way to be part of the care.
FOR BIGGER GIFTS
Other ways to give.
If you're thinking about a larger or longer-term commitment, here are some of the ways we welcome support beyond a one-time donation.
Monthly giving
Sustaining gifts make planning easier — and let us promise families that the next care package is funded before they ask.
Employer matching
Many employers double or triple charitable giving. Check with your HR team and we'll help with paperwork.
In-kind donations
Blankets, candles, journals, comfort items — anything from our Amazon list, or quality items you'd like to send directly.
Donor-advised funds
Recommend a grant from your DAF. We can provide all the documentation your sponsor needs.
Planned giving
Requests, beneficiary designations, and other planned gifts. We'd be honored to talk about your legacy.
Honor / memorial gifts
Make a gift in honor or memory of someone. We'll send a note to the family you designate.
For any of the above, reach out — we'll walk through it together.
