03Who funds it

Left out of every figure on this page: $1.2M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Harbor Hospice Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money HOSPICE OF MUSKEGON COUNTY INC D/B/A HARBOR HOSPICE raised.

From the IRS filings of HOSPICE OF MUSKEGON COUNTY INC D/B/A HARBOR HOSPICE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.
