Community Grants
Friends of Hospice is proud to support compassionate end-of-life, palliative care and grief-related services throughout our community through our Community Grants Program. These grants are designed to strengthen local nonprofit organizations that share our commitment to dignity, comfort, and support for individuals and families facing serious illness, loss, and bereavement.
Each year, Friends of Hospice awards grants to programs that address unmet needs, provided additional comfort, expand access to care, and provide meaningful resources for those navigating the end-of-life journey or grieving the loss of a loved one. Organizations may request up to $5,000 for projects supporting end-of-life, palliative care, and bereavement initiatives throughout Whitman County.
Applications are reviewed quarterly with the due dates falling on the first of January, April, July and October. You may apply multiple times throughout the year, but funding is limited to a total of $5,000 per organization per calendar year and any previously requested funds must be closed out.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Executive Director, Nikki Nolt at [email protected] or 509-332-4414
