Programs
Dementia Support Programs: Agrace offers several programs that teach and guide people who are living with dementia and their families. These programs include Dementia Care Consultations, our "Learning to Live with Dementia" education series, and daytime care for seniors with memory loss/dementia. Community support is vital to sustain these programs and keep fees low, so more families can learn how to navigate dementia with compassion and confidence. Clinical Advancement: Agrace supports the professional growth and development of our staff through several types of advancement opportunities. These include earning credentials and certifications for their roles and completing specialized training programs that can help them provide the best possible care to our patients and clients. With the support of generous community donors, we can also offer scholarships, mentorship, and a variety of unique learning experiences that enrich our staff's professional abilities. Patient Wish and Essential Needs Fund: This fund helps Agrace bring comfort, joy, and dignity to hospice patients by fulfilling meaningful wishes.

Through the Care for All Program, WE SERVE SOME OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS-CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH NO INSURANCE, SENIORS WITHOUT CAREGIVERS, INDIVIDUALS LACKING SAFE HOUSING, AND THOSE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. While Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance cover the cost of basic hospice services for most patients, an increasing number of people in southern Wisconsin do not have enough insurance coverage for hospice when they need it. Since 2015, Agrace's Care for All program has funded care for over 600 patients, 102 of them were served in 2024 alone.

Although grief support is required by state and federal regulations, it is not covered by medicare, medicaid, or private insurance. Community donations enable us to offer specialized grief support that is open to everyone. The foundation also supports agrace's free-standing grief support center which has allowed us to expand our program and serve many more people. In 2024, agrace's community grief program supported 170 students in 46 schools. More than 350 individuals found support through one-on-one counseling sessions, workshops, or support groups.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $68M to $87M (+29%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
88% of Agrace HospiceCare Foundation Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (7% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 31 funders, grant income rose $90k → $581k.
12 of 75 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $39M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Agrace HospiceCare Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Agrace HospiceCare Foundation Inc raised.
From the IRS filings of Agrace HospiceCare Foundation Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 75 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Agrace HospiceCare Foundation Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
50% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Agrace HospiceCare Foundation Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 28% · 2018 26% · 2019 28% · 2020 21% · 2021 38% · 2022 17% · 2023 27% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
35% of Agrace HospiceCare Foundation Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
61% of Agrace HospiceCare Foundation Inc's grant income comes from Wisconsin funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
