While so much in the world is changing because of the coronavirus pandemic, a very positive note is that the world is seeing an outpouring of support to medical professionals and other essential frontline workers. Likewise, the support for our foundation and other charitable organizations has been strong, in spite of the fact that so many families are facing almost insurmountable financial challenges. In the months ahead, as we struggle to reach a blessed new normal, please know that the Foundation for End of Life Care will continue to support the special needs of hospice patients and their families. We are able to do that because of the generosity expressed in the donations that you continue to give. You have touched the hearts of so many; and, our gratitude is overflowing. We will get through Covid-19 together!
Memorial Gift Giving
The Foundation for End-of-Life Care is supported by memorial gift giving and by the generous contributions from individuals and corporations, as well as planned gifts such as: bequests, appreciated assets of securities or real estate, insurance beneficiary designations and charitable trusts.
Hospice Patient Special Needs
Perhaps the most compelling and concrete examples of how the Foundation’s resources are used to make a difference in people’s lives fall under the category of “Special Needs.” The Foundation makes grants to fund the everyday living expenses not covered by Medicare or Private Insurance but are nevertheless critically important to the patient’s comfort or peace of mind.
