We have three ways you can support:
Nelson & District Hospice Society is partly funded by the Interior Health Authority, an Osprey Foundation Endowment Fund and various grants. However, Nelson Hospice primarily relies on community donations to support our work with the seriously ill and their caregivers, with grievers and assisting community members with Advance Care Planning.
Donations
Your donation will go towards Nelson Hospice’s work with people in our community who are seriously ill, dying, and grieving, and to the operational support that makes this possible.
Estate Gifts
Anyone may use their estate planning and wills to make a gift to benefit Nelson Hospice. If you are interested in that, please contact us.
Osprey Foundation Endowment Fund
In 2020, Nelson Hospice created an endowment fund with $10,000 of seed money from the many donations and support of our community, with our local Osprey Community Foundation.
Donations
All donations go to support the work of Hospice in the community where they are made. You may choose to donate to a specific program such as grief support, volunteer training, client resources or make a general donation. When making your donation, please specify which area you are supporting (Nelson, East Shore).
Direct donations can be made by e-transfer to info@nelsonhospice.org (this avoids fees being taken out of our donations by Canada Helps).
Online credit card donations can be made safely and securely through the CanadaHelps donation portal here https://nelsonhospice.org/donation-form. A tax-deductible receipt will be issued automatically.
Estate Gifts
Anyone may use their estate planning and wills to make a gift to benefit Nelson Hospice. If you are interested in that, please contact us. Your bequest can be for a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a gift of the residue, which consists of whatever remains in your estate after gifts to your loved ones and all expenses have been paid. Bequests may be made to “Nelson & District Hospice Society, Charitable Registration no. 11905 3296 RR0001.”
Osprey Foundation Endowment Fund
This fund dedicated only to the support of Nelson & District Hospice Society will grow with the support of community businesses, organization and donors who know that the work we have done for so many years will only grow as our community ages and our needs for support in both times of illness and grief grow. This endowment can grow with the wise stewardship of Osprey Community Fund and its income will support all of the programming and operations of Nelson Hospice.
Nelson & District Hospice Society is a registered non-profit charitable organization. Thank you for supporting our work!!
