HOPE Fund Endowment

Generous donors to the HOPE Fund have learned how their gifts can have an immediate impact on patients during their cancer journey.

The HOPE Fund Advisory Committee recognized the critical nature of many of the programs which are funded through annual gifts. As they have looked strategically to the future, it was decided that establishing a HOPE Endowment would ensure funding for some of the most essential services for generations to come.

The HOPE Endowment was established in 2017 with an initial gift from the McLeod Volunteer Auxiliary.  These gifts are invested and the annual proceeds may be used to provide critical funding particularly if annual gifts no longer meet the needs of our patients in treatment.
