Foundation Resources
reshaping the narrative of end of life care
Learning, sharing, growing.
We are reshaping the narrative of end of life care throughout our society—from healthcare systems to politics to personal beliefs. Our platform uplifts expert voices in the field, sharing vital resources to help healthcare professionals, death doulas, and our community members learn about the realities and possibilities in life’s final chapters.
Reimagining Palliative & End of Life Care
Our resources include education, an online community, workshops, support groups, a growing resource library, and even financial assistance to support you in understanding what’s possible in the final chapters of life and accessing the optimal support throughout the journey. Whether you are a patient, family member, care partner, or professional, our resources help to fill the gaps and change the way we all experience the end of life.
The Knowledge & Tools You Need
These resources offer the knowledge and tools needed to create an Empowered End of Life Experience™–supporting those who are aging or living with complex and terminal illness, their loved ones and the providers who care for them in understanding how to optimize the path forward with the dignity and agency we all deserve.
We believe that together, we can ensure everyone has access to the information, resources, and support needed to raise the bar in living, aging, and ending well.
In 2025, the Empowered Endings Institute was donated by our Founders to the Foundation in memory of Ryan Kotaro Meher (July 2, 1982 – August 20, 2024). With this donation the Institute and its resources became a fully integrated part of the Empowered Endings Foundation making the online community and all education created to date free to all. As we work to fulfill our mission, and continue removing barriers to access, your tax deductible donations are most welcome.
