Improving the care and experience of people with serious illness has been a major focus of Archstone Foundation for over three decades. Since 1989, the Foundation has been a champion and consistent funder of palliative care and end-of-life initiatives at the local, state, and national levels. Between 1989 and 2021, the Foundation made 136 grants in palliative and end-of-life care, investing more than $16 million. While most of the grants went to organizations in California, a number supported projects with national reach. Many of the initiatives continue to benefit people with serious illness today, sustaining and building on the professional and educational structures that make better care possible.
Our new legacy report examines this extensive portfolio of work, grantee achievements, and the enduring impact of this investment. We hope you'll take a look!
