Our Partners

We do not work alone. Our model relies on a trusted partnership with hospitals. When financial stress interrupts grief, social workers turn to the MCM Fund to fill the gap.

• Referral First: Hospital social workers lead all referrals. They confirm financial need.

• Gap Funding: Applicants must utilize hospital support first. We step in when those funds run out.

• Direct Payment: We pay funeral homes directly. This removes the administrative burden from the family.

The institutions featured below are the trusted partners who help bring this shared model of care to life.
