Becoming A Board Member

Guiding and growing Momento Foundation requires dedication from heart-led humans who want to help people heal in grief.

We’re launching new tools, innovating events and fundraising efforts, growing our programs, and so much more as we actively expand to a national level.

Leave Your Legacy

Unlike bigger nonprofits that are very established (where you might have little influence in the big picture), Momento Foundation is malleable clay that you get to shape and leave your mark on.

A Culture That Cares For You

You are not just a number at Momento. We deeply care about you and your well-being while serving on the board. Our hope is that you leave a better human than when you started with us.

All-Around Impact

When you join the board, you'll work with other incredible humans serving with you. Not only will you be impacting the families we serve, but growing yourself through this experience too.

The Foundation of Momento

Our values are everything.

Lead With Love

Love is the universal, abundant, energetic life force that helps us connect to ourselves and each other. Leading with love puts the ego and fear aside to create safe spaces for healing, connection, and transformation.

Prioritize Self-Care

We can only meet others in the capacity in which we can meet ourselves. If we love ourselves, heal our wounds, and create healthy boundaries and rhythms in our lives, we will transform hurt into healing and allow us to hold space for others to do the same.

Embrace The Present With Courage

In a world that profits from disconnection and distractions, it takes intention and courage to stay present in each moment. We embrace discomfort, pain, and challenges knowing that they help us grow and evolve into the best version of ourselves.

Communicate Mindfully & Honestly

We expect the best in others, and we give people the benefit of the doubt if something is off. Being mindful requires us to stay curious, keep our nervous systems calm, and respond with intention and honesty to cultivate and maintain healthy relationships in all areas of our lives.

Live A Growth Mindset

We view an unfavorable outcome not as a failure, but as a chance to learn. As students of this world, we know there is always more growth possible, so we aren’t afraid to try new things and look for new ways to become the best possible version of ourselves.

Act With Integrity

We are committed to being people of great character no matter the situation or the cost—as individuals and as a whole team. With integrity, our heart, mind, and soul are aligned and integrated into the actions of our everyday moments. We treat others the way we want to be treated and steward our resources well.

We Are Grateful For Every Moment

Life is short and we truly don’t know how much time we have together. Even in the midst of suffering, we are grateful for every moment we have to make the most of this one wild and precious life.

Our Current Board Team

A growing team of heart-led humans aligned with our values and helping people heal in grief.
