01What it does

What Seasons Hospice Foundation does

Mission

To support end of life care for individuals with limited means, as well as to sponsor community educational programs regarding end of life care and the role of hospice in this process.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. General - the leaving a legacy program is designed for the patient and care giver to create projects that are tangible items left to loved ones after the patient passes away. While a legacy project can be anything a family or patient dreams up, the most popular ones include thumb print necklaces, hand casts and recordings of a patient's heartbeat set to a favorite song. In addition, Seasons Hospice Foundation provides patients with wishes. The wish program can include trips or tickets to a favorite team's game but in reality over 80% of patient requests have been for needs that are essential to a comfortable end of life. The foundation may pay rent for a month while family members take fmla to care for a loved one or sometimes just an electricity bill or pest control services which are needed to make sure the hospice team is safe and comfortable in the patient's home. The 291 purchases are bulk purchases - 803 individuals received legacy projects.

  2. Milton ipc - the hospice inpatient unit in milton, mass, provides a caring environment where patients can get help for their symptoms and where loved ones may spend hours or days with the patient providing the warmth and comfort in a home-like environement. We also host a children's grief library and adult bereavement library here. The unit is also used to host fundraising and stewardship events.

  3. Camp kangaroo - camp kangaroo is available to children 5-17 who have lost a loved one. These losses are not through hospice, rather these are deaths out in the community and more often than not, the death was sudden and traumatic such as gun violence, suicide or overdose. This children's bereavement camp was launched in 2012 and is offered free of charge. Camp is funded by the foundation and run by hospice employees and specially trained volunteers. Seasons Hospice Foundation paid over $100,000 to host 12 camps in 2025.

  4. Final wish fulfillment - our wish program provides support to hospice patients to assist them with peaceful life closure. Wishes can include assistance with critical needs (food, rent, utility bills), life enrichment assistance (transportation or assistive devices) and more complex wishes such as family vacations or flights home to see a loved one for the last time.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 7 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $36k → $83k.

9 of 41 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% 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 SEASONS HOSPICE FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 41 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

SEASONS HOSPICE FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 44% of grant income and the top three 59%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

30% 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 SEASONS HOSPICE FOUNDATION.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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.

Illinois out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $136k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
