HOW YOU CAN HELP!
There are many ways you can support Hudson Valley Hospice Foundation, including:
ANNUAL GIVING
Your generous mailed or online donation is welcome anytime your heart moves you to do so. These donations are also encouraged through our Annual Appeal, a direct mail request for general operating support. Your gift can be made in memory of or in honor of someone special.
GRANTS
Do you have a family foundation or fund or a connection to one? Funding from private and public foundations for general support or funding for a specific program or project can make a significant difference.
MEMORIAL GIFTS
Memorial gifts are very special gifts, as they honor and recognize someone who has died. It should be noted that Memorial Gifts can be made at any time and for anyone by clicking here. They do not have to be made in the name of a Hudson Valley Hospice patient or be for a recent death.
COMMUNITY GIFTS
Community gifts come in all different shapes and sizes. Community donations can be the result of a group’s charitable efforts on behalf of the Foundation, such as a golf tournament or class project, or through a collection.
MEMORIAL GARDEN BRICKS
Remember and honor a loved one by purchasing a memorial brick in his or her name. The brick is embedded in our Memorial Garden pathways and dedicated at either our Spring or Fall Memorial Garden service. Friends and families are invited to join us in the Memorial Garden for music by our gifted Music Therapy staff, readings by our devoted Chaplains, a reading of the names and light refreshments. If you would like to purchase a Memorial Brick, please click here.
TREES OF LIFE
An annual celebration of life, trees are put up in Dutchess and Ulster Counties with paper ornaments hung on them in memory of a loved one. The Trees of Life are available November-January. Porcelain ornaments are cast each year in a different shape with the year on the back. In 2022 a snowflake was chosen, and offered for donations of $50 or more.
