The New York Life Foundation granted $1 million over three years to the Moyer Foundation, which helps empower children in distress by providing education and support – helping them to live healthy and inspired lives.
The grant will focus on sustainability of The Moyer Foundation's Camp Erin programs, establishing new camp locations and increasing the number of children served in existing locations by expanding camp sessions. The funding will also support the National Bereavement Resource Guide, a compilation of state and local resources for people experiencing loss.
In addition, The Moyer Foundation's National Bereavement Camp Conference will be funded by the New York Life Foundation grant. This conference, which has been sponsored by the New York Life Foundation in the past, brings together grief professionals involved in bereavement camps across the country to share best practices in the field.

"This renewed commitment will allow us to serve thousands more children and teens in distress, especially the youngest family members, by giving them the coping tools to help achieve normalcy and balance in the face of the loss of a parent, sibling, loved one or caregiver," said Kevin Sullivan, The Moyer Foundation's national executive director.
Support from the Foundation, which totals over $1.7 million since 2008, has been integral in helping The Moyer Foundation establish nearly 40 camps across the country – providing outreach, education and ongoing support to more than 2,500 children annually and leveraging the support of more than 2,000 community volunteers, including hundreds of New York Life employees from across the country who have donated time and money to Camp Erin, according to Sullivan.
