Donor FAQs


What is the Tax ID # for the Foundation for End of Life Care?

Tax ID #: 65-0943337 (IRS Determination Letter)


What are the donations used for outside of the special needs of hospice patients and their families?

The greater focus of the Foundation is to use its resources to make a difference in the lives of hospice patients and their families by making financial grants on their behalf to fund everyday expenses that are fundamentally important to their comfort and peace of mind. We receive requests from hospices all over the country and our outreach and support is nationwide.

Secondary to meeting the special needs of hospice patients, the Foundation may award grants to fund promising research studies at sites throughout the country, including hospices, teaching hospitals, other providers and academic research centers.

The Foundation is a qualified public charitable organization. All gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible as provided by law. Your donation, no matter the amount, will make a welcome difference in the life of a hospice patient and his/her family. You can make a donation online or by mail.

Will my donation stay within the local community?

Because the Foundation is well recognized for its response to hospice programs across the country, our support is provided to hospice patients in need of our services across the country as well.


Do you accept gifts of any kind?

We have also been the recipient of planned gifts such as: bequests, appreciated assets such as securities or real estate, insurance beneficiary designations, charitable trusts. We always encourage you to consult your attorney or financial advisor for guidance regarding the best form for your gift.
