About Hospice Calgary Society

Overview

Hospice Calgary Society provides services for people of all ages during illness and after a death through two sites of care. Their residential hospice offers end-of-life care for adults with advanced cancer, while their community hospice services provide grief support for individuals during illness through counseling, group programs, and educational services. Additionally, their Children's Grief Centre supports families with children under the age of 19 who are impacted by illness or death through counseling, group programs, and educational services. The charity also offers monthly educational workshops on topics related to advanced illness and death, as well as online support services for grieving children.

Mission

Hospice Calgary Society exists to help people find hope and well-being through the provision of compassionate support and exceptional care during advanced illness, end-of-life, and grief. The organization serves individuals and families across the full trajectory of serious illness โ€” from diagnosis through bereavement โ€” ensuring that no one faces these experiences alone.

Vision

Hospice Calgary envisions a world where people of all ages can live well in their unique experience through illness, death, and grief. The organization upholds values of authenticity, compassion, dignity, empathy, equity, ethical practice, excellence, family-centred care, inclusiveness, integrity, respect, and responsiveness, and commits to journeying alongside clients through end-of-life and grief for as long as they are needed.

Unique value proposition

Hospice Calgary is the only organization in Southern Alberta that specializes in grief support for children and adolescents, while simultaneously serving adults and families across the entire continuum of advanced illness, end-of-life, and bereavement. Its integrated model โ€” spanning a home-like seven-bed residential hospice, community-based counselling and group programs, and public education โ€” ensures seamless, financially accessible care regardless of a client's means or stage of illness. This breadth and depth of specialized, age-inclusive service is unmatched in the region.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting started.

How does WellFunded work?

Donor-advised funds, wealth advisors and foundations use WellFunded to find, research and fund Canadian charities. Instead of rewriting the same proposal for every funder, you complete one profile and it's ready for all of them. Fill in a few short sections and upload your annual report, and we'll turn it into an impact page funders can find by cause, location and program.

Do I need to apply for funding?

No. Funders search WellFunded for charities that match what they want to support, and your profile is what they find. When a funder wants to know more, you'll hear from us. Some funders also post Giving Opportunities for a specific focus, and you can respond to those with the profile you've already built.

What does it cost?

WellFunded is free for charities. We don't charge transaction fees, and we never take a cut of any gift. Funders pay to use the platform.

Who sees my profile?

Donor-advised funds, advisors and foundations using WellFunded to research charities. Together they manage over $2.3B in charitable assets. WellFunded isn't open to the general public.

What is a WellCheck?

When a funder is seriously considering your charity, they may ask for a WellCheck. It's a short set of questions plus a few documents, reviewed alongside your audited financials and CRA filings. We present findings, not verdicts: no scores and no rankings. Do it once, and it's ready for every funder who asks after that.

Is my information secure?

Yes. Your data stays in Canada, and we never sell it. See our privacy policy for details.

Is this legitimate?

WellFunded is a Canadian company, built in B.C. by the team behind one of Canada's first online donor-advised funds. If you'd like to meet us first, book a small group session with Jeff, our co-founder and CEO.
