The Siobhan Greene Care & Dignity Fund was created to honor Siobhan’s vision of compassionate, equitable, and accessible end-of-life care for everyone in our community. Through this fund, Hospice Giving Foundation continues her legacy by investing in programs that bring dignity, comfort, and hope to individuals and families during life’s most vulnerable moments.

Since its creation, the Fund has already made a meaningful impact—providing direct support to local nonprofits who share in this mission.

Why This Matters

Each grant represents a lifeline for families, whether that is providing hospice and palliative care, offering grief support for children, or ensuring comfort and dignity in someone’s final days. These investments reflect Hospice Giving Foundation’s belief that no one should face serious illness or loss without compassion and community.

“There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers,
those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”
– Rosalynn Carter

Hospice Giving Foundation established The Siobhan Greene Care and Dignity Fund in 2025 honoring its former President and CEO, Siobhan Greene. Her visionary leadership guided Hospice Giving Foundation to unprecedented levels and transformed the landscape of end-of-life care in our community. Siobhan’s unwavering commitment to our mission has touched countless lives as she tirelessly promoted and advocated for dignity, comfort, and support for individuals facing the end of their journey.

This unique fund is designed to support a more peaceful end-of-life experience, with an emphasis on caregiver support, attending to unmet needs and hardships, as well as other non-medical expenses.  The overarching goal is to uphold the dignity of individuals at the end of life.

Types of funding may include the following:

• Caregiver Support: to address the emotional, financial, and physical demands of caregiving such as stipends to provide respite or intermittent care, meal preparation, and/or psychosocial support for a family caregiver.
• Transportation: Assistance for family members who otherwise would not have the means to travel to be with their loved one at the end of life or to provide respite care; transportation and/or gas stipends to medical appointments (for adults; children are provided for through other grant options).
• Funeral Assistance: including the transportation of patient remains to Mexico.
• Grief Support: especially in the event of a traumatic death whereby the patient’s family was not receiving hospice related bereavement care.
• Services as Needed: to create healthy, safe environments for patients who are being discharged from a hospital to die peacefully at home.
• Supplemental Funding: for traditional grantees whose grant proposal fits within the parameters of caregiver support and hardship assistance.

Hospice Giving Foundation will provide $50,000 in annual funding for individual grants consistent with this vision through a fair and equitable process, awarded to and administered through non-profit organizations.

Thank you for joining us in honoring such a legendary organizational and community leader during this historic time for Hospice Giving Foundation.
