💗This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re honored to spotlight one of our incredible grantees — the Breast Cancer Assistance Group of Monterey County (BCAG). 💗

Founded in 1997, the Breast Cancer Assistance Group of Monterey County (BCAG) provides financial assistance grants to local breast cancer patients experiencing financial hardship due to their diagnosis and treatment. Grants are used to help with basic living expenses such as rent, transportation, utilities, childcare, and food.

"It is always difficult when we have a breast cancer recipient who is metastatic or at the end stage in their diagnosis. That is why we are so grateful to partner with Hospice Giving Foundation to be able to supplement the grant funds that BCAG gives women during such a challenging time," says Susan Jordan, president of BCAG.

Through this partnership, no one has to face breast cancer alone. Together, we’re helping lift the weight of uncertainty and providing support when it matters most. 💗

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.
