Overview

Mission

The mission of the foundation is the construction of a 6-bed hospice residential facility which will provide twenty-four hour a day palliative and hospice care. The facility will have the capacity to provide approximately 1,460 to 2,190 patient days of hospice care annually. Assuming an average stay of 35 days, the facility would have the resources to accommodate 42 to 63 patients per annum at 100 percent of capacity.

What it reported doing in 2025

To raise funds to maintain a hospice house in northern Maine and to pay off the loan from usda-rd that allowed for the construction of the facility.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
