Give the Gift of Choice this Giving Tuesday​

This Giving Tuesday, support the National Home Funeral Alliance in building a more compassionate, informed, and empowered culture around death. Your donation helps us provide free education and resources to families, caregivers, and communities who want to care for their loved ones at home after death​

​🌿 Why It Matters


​Most people don’t know they can care for their loved ones at home after death. This knowledge has been lost over generations, replaced by fear, confusion, and silence. The result? Families often face the most profound moment of loss without the tools or support they deserve.

We’re here to change that.
​
Through education, outreach, and grassroots organizing, NHFA is helping individuals and communities reclaim their right to meaningful, personal, and community-based end-of-life care.

What We’re Doing This Year

This Giving Tuesday, NHFA Executive Director Alexis Hughes will host a 24-hour livestream event on Twitch. The stream will include:
​
  • Live Q&A sessions about home funerals and green burial
  • Educational discussions on grief, deathcare, and family rights
  • Games, storytelling, and community engagement
  • Space for reflection and support
  • A special Labubu art doll giveaway, featuring our shrouded Labubu photographed across Washington’s natural landscapes

Our Campaign: #GiveTheGiftOfChoice

Our 2025 campaign theme is #GiveTheGiftOfChoice. We believe end-of-life care should be guided by love, not logistics. By donating, you’re helping us:
  • Offer free home funeral guides and educational resources
  • Host community-based events and training workshops
  • Support families and deathcare professionals with tools and peer connection
  • Advocate for policy and access to natural, family-led deathcare

🎯 Our Goal: $25,000

We're aiming to raise $25,000 to expand our programs, offer more direct support, and reach communities that need this information the most.
​
But this campaign is about more than money.
​
We’re also measuring:
  • Social media engagement and new community connections
  • Newsletter signups and local group inquiries
  • Youth and first-time learners reached
    ​
Every share, every dollar, and every conversation helps us grow this movement.
