Our Mission

Compassion, connection, and care for grieving families.

The Isla Jade Foundation exists to ensure families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss are met with compassion, dignity, resources, and time.

We work directly with families and hospitals to improve bereavement care, provide meaningful support after loss, and place bereavement cooling devices that allow parents precious additional time with their babies to hold them, make memories, and say goodbye without being rushed.

Our Families

  • Vincenzo Salvatore's Mom

    “It’s great to have support where you didn’t expect it, because honestly, my support at home wasn’t much. And now I do [have a support system]. I have one here and at home now, and it’s amazing what The Isla Jade Foundation has done.”

  • Sage Renee Kelly’s Family

    “Thank you for all of the support you have given me. If it wasn’t for [The Isla Jade Foundation], I probably wouldn’t be as strong as I am today.”

  • Josephine Roseann's Family

Our Partners & Programs

Honor & Legacy

Every Caring Cradle we work to fundraise is placed carrying the name of a baby who is deeply loved and forever remembered. Through these donations, we honor their lives and give their families the opportunity to transform their loss into legacy.

Create a Legacy in Your Baby’s Name

If you or someone you love is looking for a meaningful way to honor a baby, our Honor & Legacy Program allows families to create a personalized fundraiser in their baby’s name.

The Isla Jade Foundation works alongside each family to help raise funds toward a bereavement cooling device, identify a hospital in need, coordinate the donation and ultimately place the device in honor of their baby.

In 2025 we officially partnered with Aaliyah in Action to gift self care packages to hospitals and families grieving the loss of a baby.
