What Coastal Hospice does
Mission
Coastal Hospice promotes dignity and quality of life for patients and families who face life-limiting conditions.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Home hospice care: Coastal Hospice delivers patient-centered hospice care in dorchester, wicomico, somerset, and worcester counties. The hospice team includes (but is not limited to) primary physicians, registered nurses who coordinate individual patient care, physicians (with advanced training in symptom management), social workers, certified nursing aides, spiritual counselors, bereavement counselors and volunteers. We visit our patients where they are most comfortable: in private homes, nursing homes and assisted living facilities. We base each plan of care on the patient's goals and work with the patient and his or her loved ones, ultimately to achieve death with dignity.

Our wing at deer's head hospital center, which is surrounded by the picturesque johnson's pond in salisbury and our facility is located on the isle of wight bay in ocean pines. Coastal Hospice inpatient units are staffed by a team of registered nurses who coordinate individual patient care, physician (with advanced training in system management), social workers , certified nursing aides, spiritual counselors, bereavement counselors and volunteers. In these peaceful setting, patients are attended to around the clock, but in the setting that is more home-like than clinical. A family room and garden room, as well as a counseling office, provide family members space for the sensitive conversations.
$3,685,233 spent$2,496,112 earned by the program25% of program spendingPalliative care is delivered to manage the physiological, practical and emotional needs of patients who are facing serious illness. Unlike hospice patients, palliative care patients are receiving medical care in active pursuit of cure or remission. The palliative care team provides patient care that would otherwise have gone by the wayside in the current health care landscape. Physicians have so little time to spend with each patient that it is especially valuable to have to palliative care team on hand to catch those patients and family members reeling from the news of a serious diagnosis. In addition to providing symptom management care, the physician, nurse practitioner, social worker and pastoral counselor help patients and families sort through the practical issues and emotional and spiritual turmoil that follows in the wake of diagnosis. We know well that we have the skills and knowledge to meet this need in our community. Coastal Hospice & palliative care operates in partnership with tidal health in this endeavor.

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 2017 to 2018, from $10M to $14M (+35%).
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: 2018 3% · 2020 2% · 2021 15% · 2022 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
9% of COASTAL HOSPICE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 11 funders to 19 funders, grant income fell $418k → $303k.
7 of 40 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of COASTAL HOSPICE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 40 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
COASTAL HOSPICE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 46% of grant income and the top three 65%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
70% 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 COASTAL HOSPICE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 38% · 2019 73% · 2020 32% · 2021 40% · 2022 49% · 2023 40% — diversifying over time.
“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
36% of COASTAL HOSPICE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% 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
53% of COASTAL HOSPICE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1.3M that is directly attributable, 84% of it comes from Maryland funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
