Wishy blowing in the wind

Thank you for making a difference.


Making a contribution to HFA

As a national 501(c)(3) organization, HFA works tirelessly to enhance knowledge about hospice and grief, and to expand access to hospice care. We provide education, offer free services for the public and hospice professionals, and conduct research to improve end-of-life care.

HFA proudly partners with Health and Medical Research Charities of America (HMR), which works with national nonprofits that meet or exceed a standard of excellence for public accountability. Each partner charity submits its program and financial documents for annual review and certification. As a member of the Independent Charities of America federation, HFA uses GiveDirect to process online credit card donations at a low cost. 

If you believe, as we do, that hospice is the gold standard of end-of-life care, and you want to show your appreciation for the benefits it provides, please take a moment to support our work today.

To give to a specific hospice provider, please contact the hospice directly.

Thank you for your gift!

More ways to support HFA

HFA accepts gifts of stocks and securities, and receives monetary donations through workplace and planned giving, memorials and tributes, and Facebook fundraisers. To donate supplies, equipment, medication, clothing, furniture, real estate, or cars, please contact a local hospice provider.

Stock icon

Gift of Stock or Securities

Gifts of stocks are a popular alternative to cash because of the tax advantages they may provide. Not only will you receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the donated securities, but you also may avoid capital gains on the appreciation of your stocks. If your donated securities are used to fund a charitable trust or gift annuity, there may be estate and gift tax advantages, as well.

To make such a gift, do not sell the stock and donate the proceeds, as this will jeopardize your tax benefits. Instead, notify your broker and contact us at 202-457-5811. Be prepared to provide the donor’s name, broker’s name and contact details, name of stock(s) to be transferred, number of shares and/or approximate value, approximate date of transfer, and purpose/beneficiary for the gift.

Workplace Giving

Contributing to HFA through a monthly payroll deduction will make your gift add up. It also allows HFA to rely on consistent funding to support its work throughout the year.  

  • Matching gifts. Double your gift to HFA. Ask your HR representative if your employer offers a matching gift program.
  • Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). HFA proudly participates in the U.S. government’s workplace giving campaign. Eligible workers who designate HFA (CFC #10611) for their CFC donations join forces to make a significant gift.
  • United Way. If your employer promotes workplace giving through a United Way campaign, direct your contribution to HFA by including this information on your designation form:

Hospice Foundation of America, Inc.
EIN#: 59-2219888
1707 L Street NW, Suite 220

Planned Giving

A legacy gift to HFA through a bequest in your will can help you manage your personal financial plan and extend your commitment to hospice for generations. We appreciate your residual, percentage, specific, or contingent bequest. To avoid any confusion, HFA suggests using this language:

“I give [residual, percentage, or specific amount] to Hospice Foundation of America, Inc., having its principal offices at 1707 L Street NW, Suite 220, Washington, DC 20036, for its general purposes.”

Our tax ID number is 59-2219888.
