Strategic Partnerships Bellis has recent and ongoing partnerships with external entities such as Mitchell Hamline School of Law for free legal guidance and Project CHILD starting in 2025, as well as a marketing partnership with VitalWay Digital. This creates entry points for co-marketing initiatives, grant collaborations, and joint programs that expand reach and credibility.

Funding Momentum Bellis secured a three-year grant from the Sauer Family Foundation in 2025 and is building an earned income stream alongside fundraising efforts. This indicates a receptive funding environment and potential for collaborations on grant proposals, sponsorships, and social enterprise models.

National Reach The organization operates online peer support groups nationwide and serves a growing audience for both mothers and fathers affected by complex grief, which suggests scalable digital programs that could be leveraged by larger nonprofits, health systems, or corporations seeking employee support solutions.

Expansion Opportunities Bellis launched a dedicated online group for fathers in 2024 and expanded to additional mother groups, signaling openness to program diversification and new audience segments. This presents opportunities to tailor offerings for employer wellness programs, family services networks, and community-based initiatives.

Sustainability Path With a nonprofit model focused on grief support and strategic growth via partnerships and grants, there is potential to offer training, certification, or consulting for peer-support models, enabling scalable services for other organizations while broadening Bellis’ revenue streams.
