Abstract
Static reimbursement, rising expenses and decreasing margins for hospice and palliative care programs in the US, limit funding for innovative and creative education, care-giver well-being and resilience efforts and workforce development. Whole Person Care in philanthropy can lead to healing not only of grateful patients, families and friends but can also be a source of healing, connectiveness and meaning for donors, board members, foundations and the community.
This presentation will share leadership practices which engage grateful patients, families, prospective donors, board members, foundations and the community to raise significant funds for innovative education and program development. Conversely, the presentation will share innovative education and program development which engages and excites patients, families, donors, board members, foundations and the community to give significant philanthropic gifts. A small but excellent hospice foundation staff (5 people) with the help and support of the clinical leadership team raised over 4 million dollars in 2022 for a community-based hospice serving over 300 patients/day and community-based palliative programs serving over 600 patients/day, both adults and children.
