Today, we honor independence in all its forms. At Hospice Giving Foundation, we believe true freedom is the ability to choose how we live and how we are cared for until the very end. Compassionate hospice and palliative care empower patients and families to make decisions rooted in dignity, comfort, and love.

As fireworks light up the sky, we celebrate the right to write our own final chapter, supported, heard, and surrounded by those who matter most. Because freedom means being seen, having a voice, and the power to choose, no matter who you are or where you come from.

Learn how we help families turn choice into reality—link in bio.

provides no-cost legal help to seniors in Monterey County. Their work spans housing, healthcare, consumer fraud, elder abuse, and more, ensuring that older adults can age with dignity and security.

“They gave us direction when we had none,” Trini says. “They gave us power when we felt powerless.”

As Elder Abuse Awareness Month continues, Rita and Trini are sharing their story to warn others—and to offer a message of hope.

“You don’t have to stay quiet,” Rita says. “And you don’t have to feel ashamed. There are people who will believe you, and people who will help.”

With support from Hospice Giving Foundation, Legal Services for Seniors is able to reach more seniors with critical advocacy and protection, because safety and dignity are essential at every stage of life.

This Juneteenth, as we reflect on freedom, may we also reflect on the healing power of love, community, and care at life’s most tender moments.

We remember leaders like Dr. Richard Payne, an internationally recognized expert in palliative care who dedicated his life to ensuring compassionate end-of-life care for all, especially in Black communities where access was historically limited.

Dr. Payne, who passed away in 2019, was the first African American to lead the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. He helped launch Duke’s Institute on Care at the End of Life and even testified before the Congressional Black Caucus on healthcare disparities. His legacy of equity, empathy, and dignity in healthcare reminds us that hospice isn’t just a service; it’s a human right.

We honor the freedom to live, and die, with dignity.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor those who have given their lives in service to our country and to reflect on the importance of remembrance in all its forms.

At Hospice Giving Foundation, we believe every life deserves dignity, care, and to be remembered with love.

“How does one say thank you for caring for the most precious part of our lives? Really, there are no words. If you could see into my heart, you would see my love for each and every one of you.”

These powerful words from a grateful family capture the true spirit of Hospice of Santa Cruz County. Their doctors, nurses, social workers, and support staff don’t just provide expert care; they bring heart, patience, and compassion to every step of the journey. At the end of the day, hospice isn’t about giving up; it’s about showing up with love when it matters most.

At Hospice Giving Foundation, we are proud to partner with local hospice providers who show up every day with grace and humanity, meeting families where they are and walking alongside them through life’s most tender moments. With your support, our grant to Hospice of Santa Cruz County helps ensure that no one faces the end of life without expert care, deep compassion, and the dignity every person deserves.

Happy Birthday to our own Erik Lua!

If you've ever been to one of our events, read one of our newsletters, or seen a campaign that made you stop and feel something, you’ve experienced Erik’s impact. His creativity, compassion, and joy shape so much of what we do at Hospice Giving Foundation.

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.
