String of Pearls
About This Funder
String of Pearls is a US-based charity dedicated to providing a nurturing, compassionate environment for families facing a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis that may lead to their baby's death before or shortly after birth. Founded by individuals shaped by personal experiences of neonatal loss, its core mission is to walk alongside bereaved parents, balancing grief and hope through guidance, emotional support, and practical resources that honor every child's brief life with dignity. Rooted in values of non-judgmental compassion, holistic care, and affirmation of each family's unique story, it stands out for its empathetic, flexible approach—offering tailored one-to-one counseling, memory-making tools, birth and memorial planning assistance, and advocacy for perinatal hospice care—without imposing prescriptive solutions.
The charity focuses exclusively on perinatal loss, stillbirth, and neonatal death support, prioritizing the mental, emotional, and practical well-being of parents and families worldwide. It promotes healing through shared stories, resource lists, peer connections, and community-building, rather than prevention, research, or medical interventions. Beneficiaries are families navigating fatal prenatal diagnoses, with online resources accessible globally, though US-centric peer support may apply regionally.
String of Pearls does not accept unsolicited applications or make grants to external organizations, charities, or projects of any size, income level, or geography—there are no eligibility criteria, deadlines, funding rounds, or typical grant amounts, as it operates solely as a direct-service provider. This specialist model distinguishes it from general funders, emphasizing profound, story-centered bereavement support over financial distributions, making it uniquely suited for alignment with missions in compassionate perinatal end-of-life care rather than grant-seeking.
