Grants Awarded for 2013
$1.1 MILLION AWARDED BY HOSPICE FOUNDATION
TO LOCAL END-OF-LIFE CHARITIES

Hospice care for adults, palliative care for children and adults, programs for U.S. military veterans and multi-lingual populations, and specialized bereavement support for families are just a few of the services that are being funded by Hospice Foundation during 2013 in Monterey and San Benito counties.

Eleven local nonprofits have received a total of $1,116,645 in grant funding to provide an array of end-of-life care and support services for this Central Coast region of California.

“Hospice Foundation funding allows all of these end-of-life care providers to concentrate on doing what they do best–offer professional assistance, a helping hand, a listening ear, a compassionate heart,” said Alice Kinsler, president and CEO of Hospice Foundation, “and we are proud to partner with all of them in those efforts to strengthen the availability of services locally.”

A three-way Partnership of Caring, Comfort, and Compassion

Since its founding in 1997, Hospice Foundation has worked diligently with donors and service providers to fund a unique network of care and comfort in Monterey and San Benito counties for people at the end of life, and their families.

“Donations are vital to this effort,” said Alice. “With community support, it is the Foundation’s goal to not only make our region a better place to live, but a caring and compassionate place to die.”
