  9. Relationship with Your Development Office • Know who your contact person is • Get to know that person • Accept their expertise and advice • They know the institutional relationships and the current donor prospects • Educate him/her about palliative care • Send articles, videos, brochures • Invite them to team meetings, events Slide 9 of 28

  10. Relationship with Your Institution • Based on physician/teams key role in patient care • Generates good feeling about the institution • Explain the needs of the PC program • Share stories of patients you care for • Remind them that palliative care is responsible for contributions to the institution • They need to dedicate some time from a development person to PC • Example: Grateful Family Program Slide 10 of 28

  11. Relationship with Your Donor • Access to the physician and team is part of the attraction • Want to know about you and your work • Keep donors updated or engage in “stewardship” • Foster relationships • Few people give millions the first time • Small donations can lead to larger ones • Be the program they want to fund • Enthusiastic, passionate, committed, optimistic Slide 11 of 28

  12. Relationship with Your Volunteers • Volunteers get to know the passion and mission • 2 kinds of volunteers • Programmatic volunteers • Fund-raising volunteers • Can link to others in community • Can serve as ambassadors for fund-raising and other development activities • Example- Formal volunteer board or advisory group Slide 12 of 28

  13. Be Prepared! Be Passionate! • Create a list of funding needs • Operational: amenities, rooms, education • Endowments: for people, infrastructure • From small to large • Name a Director of Philanthropy or a liaison with the Development Department • Have compelling reasons why someone should give • Develop a procedure for accepting and acknowledging donations Slide 13 of 28

Be Prepared • Donor program information packet • Brochure including gift levels if appropriate • Supporting material: articles, news releases • One-page program description • “Wish list” with estimated costs • PowerPoint presentations- tailored to different audiences may be helpful • Budget for development revenue/expenses Slide 14 of 28

  15. Challenges • Competing institutional priorities • Crafting a positive message about palliative care • “The hospital is not all about stainless steel” • Bereaved families are vulnerable • Takes time to develop relationships • HIPAA- does not prohibit philanthropy with patients but does require patient protections • Consult with your development or foundation office about your institutional policy Slide 15 of 28

  16. HIPPA Requirements • Only demographics can be used in fund raising • Hospital/Hospice must include in their privacy notification that demographics may be used in fund raising • Fund raising must include an opt-out • Ensure that opt-out families don’t receive further fund raising material Slide 16 of 28

  17. Benefits Usually have Development personnel Individual donors will give to hospice Challenges for Hospice Challenges • Family is the unit of care • NHPCO standards of care (bereavement services with family) • Ethical responsibility – time sensitivity Slide 17 of 28

  18. Partners for Community Education and Outreach • Help raise awareness and resources for your organization. • Initiate community advisory boards • Participate in local, regional and national professional organizations • Leverage the relationships team members already have (RN, SW, Chaplain) • Marketing, public relations and media contacts • Become familiar with research or grant organizations • Serve as educational partners Slide 18 of 28

  21. Partners for Clinical Care Delivery • In most situations, partnerships between clinical care entities can provide a broader range of services for patients and families • Community partnerships help prevent duplication of services and maximize resources • Partners can be a source of referrals for each other (understand the legal parameters) • Partnership aids in the development of new relationships to address community needs Slide 21 of 28

  22. Clinical Care Example • Small or medium sized community hospital starting inpatient palliative care program • Needs an educational development plan to “market” PC to the public • Needs interdisciplinary team education within hospital • Needs physician group (hospitalists) to partner for referrals/education • Needs hospice partner for after hospital care • Needs potential donor to fund program development Slide 22 of 28
