About Donation Advocates

Authorization isn't about delivering the perfect line. It's about guiding families through a moment they never saw coming.

Inspired by the idea that a no is simply the start of the conversation. As family services coordinators its important for us to remember that:

A No is valuable information.

A No reveals fear, confusion, or a need for more clarity.

A No is the start of genuine trust-building.

Families don't remember our titles. They remember if someone made the moment feel less impossible.

Our mission is simple: Help Family Services Coordinators become the presence that families need

Donation Advocates is a Whetstone Family Trust company dedicated to improving communication, strengthening ethical practice, and honoring every donors legacy.
