About hospice grants
Hospice grants support end-of-life care, bereavement and grief services, palliative care, and charity care for patients who lack adequate coverage. Most funding in this area comes from foundations rather than federal agencies, including the Hospice Foundation of America, which funds research and national projects, and regional grantmakers such as community hospice foundations that support local end-of-life and grief programs. Hospital community-benefit funds and private donors also play a major role.
A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow hospice grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

When are hospice grants due?
Of 54 grants listed, 7 accept applications on a rolling basis, 4 have a published upcoming deadline, 12 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 31 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site.
What grants are available for hospice and palliative care?
Grants commonly fund charity and uncompensated care, bereavement and grief support, palliative-care expansion, staff and volunteer training, and programs for underserved populations. Awards tend to come from foundations and range widely, with many smaller community grants alongside larger research and program awards. Nonprofit hospices, palliative-care programs, and grief-support organizations are typical applicants.
Who funds hospice organizations?
Funding comes largely from private and community foundations, including the Hospice Foundation of America, which supports hospice research and national initiatives, and regional grantmakers such as community hospice and end-of-life foundations. Some foundations, like the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, support palliative care on an invitation-only basis. Hospital community-benefit programs, faith communities, and individual donors round out the funding base, since most operating revenue comes from Medicare and insurance rather than grants.
How can a hospice nonprofit secure grant funding?
Focus grant requests on services that aren't reimbursed by Medicare or insurance, such as bereavement programs, charity care, and outreach to underserved communities, since funders prefer to fill gaps. Maintain clear 501(c)(3) status and outcome data, and research regional hospice and community foundations whose missions match yours. Because some major palliative-care funders are invitation-only, building relationships and local philanthropic support is essential.
