About Hospice Foundation of the East Bay

Hospice Foundation of the East Bay was established in 1999 to raise the funds necessary to ensure the operating stability and future financial requirements of Hospice of the East Bay.

Hospice of the East Bay takes pride in the fact that all medically qualified patients are accepted for care regardless of their insurance coverage or ability to pay for services. Even when a patient has “full” insurance coverage, Hospice offers services which are essential to the well-being of the patient and family members but which are not compensated.

Services covered by funds raised by the Foundation:

Visits that occur as frequently and for as long as necessary rather than occurring at a frequency and for a duration dictated by insurance
Visits from our hospice physician in a patient’s home or other care facility
In-person visits from social workers and chaplains
Our Children’s Bereavement Program and community grief education offered through our Bereavement Services Program
Any services delivered beyond the reimbursement cap of an insurance provider
Volunteer recruitment and training

The Foundation raises funds from:

Individual and Corporate Donations
Private and Corporate Foundation Grants
Gifts of Publicly-Traded Stock
Community-sponsored events
Foundation-sponsored events
Household items for our thrift shops
Vehicle Donations
Hospice of the East Bay Estate Sales
Donations from your IRA for more tax benefits
Planned Gifts (Wills, Charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Gift Annuities)
