✨ The New Year is a time for reflection, growth, and embracing the possibilities of positive change ✨

Many of us use this season to set intentions, take bold steps, and foster growth in our own lives. At Hospice Giving Foundation, we’ve been fortunate to experience transformative change within our organization as well. From our founding CEO, Alice Kinsler, to Siobhan Greene, and now Erin White, each leader has guided us with vision, compassion, and courage. They’ve opened doors for growth, inspired innovation, and helped shape us into the leaders of our community that we are today.

As we step into 2026, we celebrate the past, honor the present, and look forward with excitement to the opportunities ahead. Change can be challenging, but when it’s embraced with heart and purpose, it becomes a true blessing, both personally and collectively.

Here’s to a new year of growth, impact, and continued service to our community. 💛

From our hearts to yours, the Hospice Giving Foundation team wishes you a season filled with love, comfort, and connection. 💛

May your holidays be bright, your moments full, and your memories cherished.

We did it! 💛 Thanks to you, we’ve reached our $100,000 goal for Monterey County Gives! Your support helps our healthcare heroes continue providing compassionate care to families across our community.

And every additional dollar helps extend that care even further; supporting another healthcare professional, another moment of comfort, another life touched.

This is more than a goal; it’s a reminder of what’s possible when we come together.

Our Story

Hospice Giving Foundation is an independent grant-making foundation exclusively focused on end-of-life care and preparedness. Unaffiliated with a direct patient care provider, Hospice Giving Foundation is the primary funder of a spectrum of qualified nonprofit agencies that deliver compassionate end-of-life care in Monterey and San Benito Counties. Since 1997, Hospice Giving Foundation has awarded grants totaling almost $25 million.

Through our community education, professional education, and end-of-life resources, Hospice Giving Foundation provides a platform for the conversation about death and dying to increase people’s understanding, acceptance, and preparedness. Understanding that each of us may find some approaches more accessible than others, Hospice Giving Foundation’s outreach programming employs varied methods, including workshops, talks, dinner conversations, online tools, and creative media. HG Foundation serves the community by investing in service providers and relevant community education to ensure needed services are available throughout our community; for all in our community.

Hospice Giving Foundation’s singular focus gives our communities a unique and valuable resource. Through our philanthropy programs we strive for highest donor satisfaction and are careful stewards of donor funds. Under the leadership and fiduciary guidance of our Board of Directors, HG Foundation is sustained by strategic investments, carefully disbursement of funds, and by being responsive to the changing healthcare landscape.
