If you're in BR I'd talk to someone at Woman's Hispital. They'd know of any charities that do that already.

Maybe you can find a good one and make a donation in the person's name.

A good local charity for families that have lost children is Maddie's Footprints. Sounds like what you're looking for. LINK

Yeah...it occurred to me today that it hardly seems right for the first thing a new parent buys for their new baby is a funeral and I'm having trouble figuring out how I would have even managed that had it happened to me.


The hospital or the nurses on the unit would be a good resource. It would probably be easier to work with an already established charity. Funeral homes would also know who already does such work.

I have worked with a bunch of women who get donated wedding dresses and make them into beautiful gown for the babies to be buried in. They are called Angel Gowns. It's a great way to use beautiful wedding dresses that would just be hanging in a closet forever otherwise.

Once your non-profit is started, would you be willing to sign off on some community service hours for me?

Asking for a friend.

We participate in a charity that cares for disabled rappers who were shot in the line of duty, I can sign you up to help wipe butts.

As was posted earlier, you will need to fill out a 1023 to obtain tax exempt status through the irs. Personally, I think it would be best to start the process with the 1023 in hand. That way, you can draft your articles, bylaws, conflict of interest policy, etc exactly how the IRS wants.

Kibbles has all the ins and outs and ins and outs you'll need to get started. She might let you get into the naughtier bits of the business if you play nice.

There are a couple of charities dedicated to this cause. The main one I'm thinking of I can't remember the name of at this time.

TheNewOrleansInfantBurialFoundation LINK

The wife is on a retreat but I'll ask her if she recalls the name of the other one.

I began work on this very type of non-profit a few years ago. It's called "Angels Away". It is a project that is still on my back burner and incomplete.

Send you email and I will contact you
