FAQs for Donors
Life Interrupted Foundation
Is Life Interrupted Foundation a registered nonprofit?
Yes. We are a 501(c)(3) public charity registered in the state of Georgia, which means your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. EIN: 99-0712203
Where does my donation go?
Your gift directly funds our two core programs: Essential Needs Grants (up to $2,500) for families facing sudden loss, and Children’s Scholarships (up to $500) deposited into 529 accounts for grieving children. For 2026, we’re on target for 78.9% of every dollar to go directly to programs, with the remainder covering essential administrative costs to keep the Foundation running responsibly.
How often do you distribute grants?
We run two funding cycles per year: one in July and one in December. Each cycle’s applications are reviewed by our Grant Committee, with final award decisions made by our Board of Directors.
How do you decide who receives funding?
Applicants must meet strict eligibility criteria, including proof of financial impact, income limits, and timing since the loss. Because funding is limited and we’re entrusted with donor dollars, we’re intentional and careful about every award — not every applicant who qualifies will receive funding, and awards are not guaranteed at the maximum amount.
Can I donate stock or securities?
Yes. We've made it even easier for our donors to contribute through investments through every.org. Visit our Stock Donations page for instructions on how to make a gift of appreciated securities, which may offer additional tax benefits.
How often do you distribute Does my company partner with Life Interrupted for corporate sponsorship?
We welcome corporate partnerships. Please reach out to us at info@lifeinterruptedfoundation.org and note that you’re inquiring about corporate sponsorship.
Will I receive a tax receipt?
Yes, you’ll receive a donation confirmation for your records that can be used for tax purposes.
