Over the years, our Gratitude Luncheon has brought together donors, partners, and friends who believe in compassionate care and showing up for one another. These moments remind us why gratitude matters and how powerful it is when a community gathers with purpose.

We can’t wait to come together again soon.

Hospice Giving Foundation is honored to welcome Dr. Laura Berman—grief educator, relationship therapist, and New York Times bestselling author—as our keynote speaker for the 2026 Gratitude Luncheon.

Her work invites us to reflect on grief, love, and transformation with tenderness and courage:

“Grief is a portal of transformation. When you are brave enough to enter it and feel it all, the metamorphosis shapes you into a more open, tender, and deeply alive version of yourself.”

Our Gratitude Luncheon is an invitation-only event and one of our favorite traditions; a moment to gather, reflect, and celebrate the supporters who make our mission possible.

A new year is a natural time to pause and think about what matters most.

Estate planning isn’t always easy to start, but it’s one of the most meaningful ways to care for the people you love and the values you want to carry forward.

If you’ve been meaning to create or update your plan, this may be a gentle reminder that small steps today can bring clarity and peace for tomorrow.

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his vision of a world rooted in justice, compassion, and equality.

At Hospice Giving Foundation, we believe dignity at the end of life should never depend on background, income, language, or circumstance.

On MLK Jr. Day, we recommit ourselves to ensuring compassionate care reaches every corner of our community.

✨ The New Year is a time for reflection, growth, and embracing the possibilities of positive change ✨

Many of us use this season to set intentions, take bold steps, and foster growth in our own lives. At Hospice Giving Foundation, we’ve been fortunate to experience transformative change within our organization as well. From our founding CEO, Alice Kinsler, to Siobhan Greene, and now Erin White, each leader has guided us with vision, compassion, and courage. They’ve opened doors for growth, inspired innovation, and helped shape us into the leaders of our community that we are today.

As we step into 2026, we celebrate the past, honor the present, and look forward with excitement to the opportunities ahead. Change can be challenging, but when it’s embraced with heart and purpose, it becomes a true blessing, both personally and collectively.

Here’s to a new year of growth, impact, and continued service to our community. 💛

Our Story

Hospice Giving Foundation is an independent grant-making foundation exclusively focused on end-of-life care and preparedness. Unaffiliated with a direct patient care provider, Hospice Giving Foundation is the primary funder of a spectrum of qualified nonprofit agencies that deliver compassionate end-of-life care in Monterey and San Benito Counties. Since 1997, Hospice Giving Foundation has awarded grants totaling almost $25 million.

Through our community education, professional education, and end-of-life resources, Hospice Giving Foundation provides a platform for the conversation about death and dying to increase people’s understanding, acceptance, and preparedness. Understanding that each of us may find some approaches more accessible than others, Hospice Giving Foundation’s outreach programming employs varied methods, including workshops, talks, dinner conversations, online tools, and creative media. HG Foundation serves the community by investing in service providers and relevant community education to ensure needed services are available throughout our community; for all in our community.

Hospice Giving Foundation’s singular focus gives our communities a unique and valuable resource. Through our philanthropy programs we strive for highest donor satisfaction and are careful stewards of donor funds. Under the leadership and fiduciary guidance of our Board of Directors, HG Foundation is sustained by strategic investments, carefully disbursement of funds, and by being responsive to the changing healthcare landscape.
