Our Grants and Grantees

---

  Hospice of Haines, which is an all volunteer hospice, providing care and support to terminally, critically and chronically ill and their families in the Chilkat Valley, used their grant funding to purchase much needed replacement equipment for hospital beds and bereavement support resources for their “hope

bags.” 

 For more than twenty years, Brave Heart Volunteers has provided the community of Sitka with compassionate

end of life care, respite relief, grief support, educational training, and companionship to the lonely housebound and Pioneers Home residents. The program received a $4,000 grant from the Foundation  in 2020.

 Gustavus Helping Hands is another volunteer operated non-profit organization in Southeast

Alaska that has seen a growing need for hospice services. Their $4,000 grant helped support funding for a storage rental unit that holds all of their supplies and equipment and helped provide

disposable diapers, oxygen tubing, an oxygen humidifier, bedding and wound dressing supplies.

 The Foundation has supported Hospice and Home Care of Juneau, now Home Health and Hospice at Bartlett Regional Hospital, with a number of grants to help maintain hospice services in Juneau, provide protective gear and safety equipment to staff, and maintain patient care - especially during years when COVID was an issue in Juneau.
