Campaign Priorities
Operations: $6,000,000
The annual operating budget provides the groundwork for everything Avow does. Because gifts that support the day-to-day operations are critical in fulfilling the mission of Avow, operations support is an integral part of the Promise Campaign. Gifts to operations will help Avow fulfill its mission by:
- caring for patients and families with the services they really need and deserve, exceeding the "basic" care covered by Medicare/Medicaid
- providing bereavement services to all in the community
- offering complementary therapies, such as music and massage therapies, to its patients
- continuing its programs of outreach and education to the entire community
- investing in staff education and development for some of the finest hospice clinicians in the United States
Endowments: $3,000,000
Endowment funds are a vital, sustaining source of support and provide dependable funds, year after year. The long-range goal is to increase the endowment to cover three to five percent of the operating budget. With a strong endowment, Avow will be able to:
• ensure the mission of Avow will be fulfilled over successive generations
• help meet ongoing expenses
• fund special projects and programs
• cover capital expenditures
Campus Enhancements: $1,000,000
Campus enhancement/beautification is more than plantings and landscaping. It is creating an outdoor campus that is an integral part of Avow. Campus enhancements will involve spaces around and between buildings—such as walkways, fountains and gardens—making Avow a more welcoming environment. With these projects, the Avow campus will provide a:
• serene setting and environment of peace and tranquility
• refuge to grieve and heal
• spot to pause and reflect
• place to celebrate family, friends and pets
• beautiful and powerful way to honor a loved one through memorial opportunities
