Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Evermore is a national nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of bereaved children and families. Bereavement is largely undocumented, and thus a “hidden” problem in the United States and throughout the world. In addition to the immense personal tragedy people experience, it’s a problem with vast health, economic, and social consequences. To address these consequences, Evermore is accelerating lasting societal change using data and science to drive policy and practice advancements that are grounded by the lived experiences of individuals and families. We are seeking cultural transformation.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Evermore works across health, social, and economic issues that are central to preserving the rights, dignity, and solvency of all bereaved individuals. This means we stand up to power – political or financial – when it seeks to marginalize, diminish, or take advantage of bereft people, particularly during life’s toughest moments. We stand firm in this mission, even when it requires us to take an inconvenient or unpopular point of view.
We seek to serve all people in the United States, regardless of race, wealth, faith, geography, sexual orientation, political affiliation, incarceration status, national origin, disability, genetic conditions, age, or other disenfranchisement. We stand for a united nation.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Evermore accelerates lasting societal change using data and science to drive policy and practice change for all bereaved children and families. To achieve this change, we advocate for meaningful policy change, advance bereavement science, and cultivate innovative bereavement programming among communities nationwide.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Evermore is led by those directly impacted by tragic losses and the poor services and supports available to them in their time of need.
The Founder and Executive Director, Joyal Mulheron, is a bereaved parent. Ms. Mulheron is a Washington, DC, public policy expert with more than 15 years of service to the nation’s governors, the White House, and some of the most distinguished nonprofit ventures, including the American Cancer Society and National Academies of Science.
Evermore is also led by a strong Board of Directors and core volunteers who bring a wide range of expertise, including nonprofit management, communications, grassroots organizing, and financial and policy expertise.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
