What The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast Inc does

Programs
Hospice services - founded by volunteers in 1978, suncoast hospice's mission of care focuses on persons with advanced illnesses and extends to those acting as caregivers or working through grief. Suncoast hospice is recognized nationwide for its innovative service delivery and advocacy for social change. In addition to providing care in private homes, suncoast hospice serves those who reside in nursing homes, assisted living facilities (alfs), hospitals, suncoast hospice care centers; or anywhere patients call home. Of those who died in pinellas county throughout the year, approximately 53% were served by suncoast hospice. Suncoast hospice serves all people without regard to diagnoses, age, religious, ethnic, sex or financial circumstances. Over $1,185,403 in uncompensated care was provided to individuals and families throughout the year.
$67,744,041 spent$81,347,799 earned by the program84% of program spendingThe suncoast hospice care centers, also known as inpatient centers, are places of refuge for our patients when they suffer severe pain or experience acute symptoms that cannot be resolved or managed in their own homes. Care with compassion is provided at these three centers. Each suncoast hospice care center is staffed by medical teams available 24-hours a day, 7-days a week in settings designed expressly for the comfort and convenience of our patients and their families. Our patients stay in a center until their pain and symptoms are controlled enough to allow them to comfortably return to their residences - their chosen activities - their lives. Each center has its own distinct environment and setting, but shares a common goal of creating a sense of comfort, peace, and tranquility.
$12,254,678 spent$15,577,292 earned by the program15% of program spendingOther programs - other important suncoast hospice services offered are grief or bereavement support and counseling. While stages of grief have been identified, no two people grieve in exactly the same way or in prescribed time frames. Suncoast hospice offers grief counseling and support to those it serves in its hospice programs as well as to the entire community. A special camp for children in grief is offered each year as well as other programs and sessions for youngsters who are trying to come to terms with the death of someone who has been close to them. As testament to its commitment to the pinellas community and the well-being of its citizens, suncoast hospice offers education and training on a wide variety of subjects and to varied audiences.

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 2019 to 2020, from $51M to $63M (+24%).
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: 2019 0% · 2020 2% · 2021 3% · 2022 2% · 2023 1% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $39k → $211k.
6 of 41 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% 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: $19M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Hospice Foundation of the Florida Suncoast Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money THE HOSPICE OF THE FLORIDA SUNCOAST INC raised.
From the IRS filings of THE HOSPICE OF THE FLORIDA SUNCOAST INC’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
THE HOSPICE OF THE FLORIDA SUNCOAST INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
46% 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 THE HOSPICE OF THE FLORIDA SUNCOAST INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 26% · 2018 24% · 2019 66% · 2020 37% · 2021 38% · 2022 56% · 2023 52% — growing more concentrated.
“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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $607k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
