Wildflower, Inc.

Wildflower, Inc. is a Lexington-based nonprofit that helps children rediscover life after the death of a parent. Its work rests on the idea that childhood should include time to daydream, play and grow, and that grief can take that carefree time away. The organization supports both the children and their families, attending to the needs of each child and approaching every family with an open heart and mind.

Partnerships sit at the center of how it works. Wildflower teams up with camps, other organizations, colleagues and funders to give its campers and families a stronger experience and to widen its reach. Its stated values call for high standards of professional behavior and relationships built on honesty, truthfulness, trust and sincerity, with the needs of families kept at the forefront, along with perseverance and a commitment to keep growing and learning.
