Describe the applicant organization, including its purpose, leadership structure, and activities. Redmond -Sisters Hospice provides quality end -of -life care to the communities of Redmond, Sisters, Bend and many of the surrounding areas within the boundaries of Deschutes County. We are a 501©3 organization that is comprised of a nine -member board of directors, an executive director and 25 full -and part-time employees. Our core services are Medicare or private insurance funded, however, our services are provided at no charge regardless of a patient's ability to pay. In 2010 Redmond -Sisters Hospice provided a full complement of end -of -life services to three patients who had no insurance and no way to pay for care. Our volunteers contributed approximately $4,000 in monthly services to the community on behalf of hospice and 7,000 hours of combined services for Hospice and our Transitions program. In addition to our direct end -of -life services, Hospice provides a number of auxiliary programs and services that require funding such as: bereavement services, transitions services (mentioned above), volunteer programs & training, and alternative therapies. With current staffing we are able to provide service to approximately 45-50 hospice clients while serving an additional 45 clients through our volunteer -based Transitions Program. In total, we provide end -of -life related services to approximately 500 people annually through direct service and bereavement counseling to residents from all walks of life. We often work with very low- to moderate -income families, many of whom live in isolated rural areas of Central Oregon. 2. Describe the proposed project or activity. The activity that we are seeking grant funding for is our annual fundraiser which is the Festival of Trees. The Festival proceeds are used to support the auxiliary programs of Redmond -Sisters Hospice. December 2011 will be our 28th year of hosting the event. The fundraising portion of the event brings together community members who donate time and funds to decorate Christmas trees which are in turn auctioned to attendee bidders. A variety of other activities generally take place including raffles, and a silent auction. Family oriented daytime activities that do not bring in funding but that are intended to share the joy of the season and to keep Redmond -Sisters Hospice in the minds of community members also take place on the day of the Festival. 3. Provide a timeline for completing the proposed project or activity. The planning and preparation is an ongoing project, however the bulk of the event preparation takes place from approximately Sept. through the first weekend in December. 07/07/2011 15:13 Hospice Redmond Sisters (FAX) 5415481507 P. 004/005 4. Explain how the proposed project or activity will impact the community's economic health. The proceeds that we receive from the Festival of Trees support the above-described services. These services, in turn, provide substantial economic benefit to the community from the physical, social and financial perspective of end -of -life care services and related community needs. 5. Identify the specific communities or groups that will benefit. Specific groups that benefit from the Festival of Trees are families of deceased community members who participate in our bereavement programs, those families who do not have the ability to pay for end -of -life care services (our pediatric program and indigent veteran services are examples of this care), children of the deceased, spouses and siblings, community members who are not yet hospice ready but who benefit from our Transitions program services as well as the volunteer program that supports those services. 6. itemize anticipated expenditures: Describe how grant funds will be used and include the source and amounts of matching funds or in-kind contributions, if any. If the grant will support an ongoing activity, explain how it will be funded in the future. Grant funds would be used to help defray the cost of fairgrounds rental and food. 0 -Below numbers are based on approximated attendance of 350 people and current contract agreements.
