Through regular and predictable donations, our GEM (Gives Every Month) sustaining donors are the pillars of Hospice SLO County’s impact, allowing our team to spend less time fundraising and more time helping people who are facing a life-limiting illness, end of life, or grief.

Giving monthly enables you to make an impact all year long! 

Benefits of Becoming a GEM:

  • No fuss donation!  Sign up once and you do not have to think about it again.
  • You will receive monthly e-mail acknowledgments with stories about the work your donation is supporting. 
  • You will receive an end of the year donation summary for tax purposes.
  • You will be invited to an annual recognition party.
  • You may cancel or change your donation amount at any time.
