HELP US OPEN THE DOORS TO OMAHA’S FIRST GRIEF SUPPORT CENTER
Donate to Support Our Cause
At Collective for Hope (CFH), we believe no one should have to walk through grief alone. For 25 years, we have offered the Omaha Metro FREE and inclusive grief support services that help individuals and families process their grief, develop tools for coping, and find community and kinship among peers.
In summer 2026, CFH will embark on a new chapter with the opening of Omaha’s first dedicated Grief Support Center. Centrally located at 8000 Chicago Street, the space has been designed to meet the unique needs of those who are grieving, creating an environment that exudes compassion, inclusivity, emotional security, and warmth.
With nearly double our current programmatic footprint – growing from 5,800 SF to 10,200 SF – our new home will provide ample space to meet the growing community demand for bereavement services, enabling us to expand our core peer-support model, offer new support services, grow community training & education opportunities, and ultimately create a more grief-affirming and resilient community.

JOIN US!
Just as it takes all of us to build a resilient community, we need collective support to build Omaha’s first Grief Support Center. We need YOU. By contributing to our A Home for Hope campaign, you will bring us one step closer to opening our doors. Support at every level makes a lasting impact.
Please help us reach our community campaign goal of $100,000 in support of CFH’s new home and the expanded grief support services we will offer within it.
General Donations
Donations of all sizes make a difference – supporting our new facility and the expanded grief support programming we will offer within it.
Collective for Hope Remembrance Wall
Give in memory of a loved one and they will be honored on our dedicated Remembrance Wall. Their memory – and the impact of your support – can live on in our Home for Hope.
Remembrance Wall Campaign
For a limited time, we are offering an opportunity to honor lost loved ones in a more permanent way, as the focal point of our new Remembrance Wall. Memorial tiles are available in 3 sizes, corresponding with different giving levels.
Level 1: $500
Level 2: $1,000
Level 3: $2,500
This opportunity is only available May 1 – July 31, 2026 with a special wall unveiling in September 2026. Quantities at all levels are limited.
*Permanent memorials will remain on the wall for a minimum of 10 years.
Memorial Gifts Up to $500
It is important to CFH that we provide an opportunity for EVERYONE to honor those they’ve lost. For this reason, memorial gifts of all sizes and/or those given outside the Remembrance Wall Campaign period, will have their loved one honored on a special magnet insert on our Remembrance Wall for 3 months, after which the insert will be offered to designated family/loved ones as a keepsake.
Facility Naming Opportunities
Various naming opportunities are available throughout our Grief Support Center. For more information, contact Cliff McEvoy at Cliff@collectiveforhope.org or 402-502-2773.
