Common Questions About Making a Gift If I wish to make a donation to Avalon Hospice, how do I make out my check? Checks should be made payable to Avalon Hospice and mailed to 2360 Stone Bridge Drive, Flint, MI 48532. Walk-in contributions are also accepted at the Avalon Hospice office. May I make a contribution to a specific program or service (e.g. dementia care, charity care, Healing Hearts Youth Grief Camp, Beautification Garden, or Chronic Care)? Yes, but please indicate the program or service to which the contribution is to be applied in the memo portion of your check. Call us to discuss further details on specific programs and how your contribution may help. How do I make a memorial contribution? Please write the name of the deceased person in the memo portion of the check. May I use a credit card for my donation? Yes, Avalon Hospice accepts MasterCard and Visa. Please supply your card type, number and expiration date. May I make a contribution directly to Avalon Hospice staff members? No. Please don’t. All donations should be made to Avalon Hospice. Staff members are not allowed to accept compensation from patients, or the families or friends of patients for their services. Will the family be notified? Yes. We send a letter to the designated person, which includes a list of the names and addresses of those who have made a contribution, in memory of a loved one. The donation amounts are not divulged. Do I need to supply the name and addresses of the family member to be notified on my donation? That depends. If the contribution is in memory of a patient cared for by Avalon Hospice, the answer is “no.” We’ll have the family information on file. However, if you want the notification sent to a family member other than the primary caregiver, please supply this name and address with you donation. If the contribution is in memory of someone other than a patient cared for by Avalon Hospice, the answer is “yes.” Please provide the complete name and address of the person who should be notified and enclose with your donation. Will I receive a thank you letter? Yes. All contributions are recognized with a letter of appreciation. Do you require a minimum donation? No. Avalon Hospice accepts and appreciates donations in any amount. Do I need a form or contribution envelope in order to make a donation? While we will be happy to mail an envelope to you for this purpose, it is not required. Simply make out your donation check and mail to the address indicated above.
