Harbor Foundation, Inc. operates as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a mission to enhance the quality of life for individuals in hospice care and their families by addressing essential and extraordinary needs not covered by typical healthcare services. The foundation is committed to assisting bereaved family members, providing education about hospice, and undertaking other charitable endeavors as approved by its Board of Directors.
These expenses are those that the persons/families cannot afford themselves. Funds will not be allocated for patients’ needs, which the hospice should meet under the reimbursement system of Medicare, Medicaid, or any third-party payor. Hospice agency representatives must request hardship grants on behalf of and with permission of the patient and family; please see a link to the application.
