GriefWorks was recently informed that the Muckleshoot Charity Fund’s Board of Trustees has authorized a grant of $5,000 to GriefWorks to support general operating expenses.

“The Muckleshoot Charitable Fund (MCF) distributes approximately $1 million per year. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe has long understood the importance of being proactive in meeting the needs of its community, and we are pleased to be able to fund such important and innovative programs,” Muckleshoot Charity fund staff wrote in a release submitted with the grant award.

Rob Perry, president of GriefWorks’ board of directors, said he was grateful and pleased with the grant.

“The Muckleshoot Charity Fund’s generosity will enable GriefWorks to continue its important work of counseling and supporting those grieving the loss of a loved one in our community,” said Perry.
