The No One Should Die Alone Foundation (NOSDAF) brings hope to those who are at the end of their life. At Ardent Hospice & Palliative Care, we’ve partnered with NOSDAF because we’ve seen firsthand the impact they have had on patients’ lives.
Gifts and monetary donations that are given to NOSDAF are shared between the foundation’s three categories of support: Necessities for Life, Life Essentials, and Wish Fulfillment. Each category was thoughtfully created to meet a patient’s needs and bring them peace beyond comfort. It’s not just Ardent’s patients who can benefit from the foundation’s generosity; gifts are given to the patients who need it most.
The foundation’s kindness is only made possible through the charitable gifts from caring individuals and community organizations. As a non-profit organization, donations are tax deductible and go to an exceptional cause—bringing comfort and peace to patients coping with illness and the end of life. There are several ways to donate to NOSDAF so that it can continue to bring these life-changing acts of kindness to patients.
1. Give Directly to NOSDAF
You can always visit the foundation online or mail your donation directly to one of our locations with a card or note identifying the patient or caregiver you’d like to honor. Any of our Ardent representatives can explain how to give a donation or help you with the process.
2. Amazon Smile
Whenever you shop with Amazon, you can be making contributions to NOSDAF. Simply select the No One Should Die Alone Foundation as your charitable organization. The AmazonSmile Foundation will then donate 0.5 percent of the price of eligible purchases to NOSDAF.
3. Donate Your Vehicle to Action Donation
If you have a car, boat, plane, RV, or other vehicle you no longer use, you can donate it to Action Donation. The organization will pick up your vehicle, refurbish it, and give NOSDAF the sale proceeds. You’ll receive the maximum legal tax deduction for your donation and maybe even a partial cash payment.
4. Participate in an NOSDAF-Sponsored Event
In Summer 2017 NOSDAF will be launching several fun and exciting events. You can always sponsor part of the event, donate your services or time, or purchase a ticket to the event. The foundation’s Fresno location is planning a wine-tasting mixer that will include samples from the local wineries, musical performances, and the chance to give back to a great cause. More events—from comedy shows to silent auctions—will be coming up throughout the year, so keep an eye on the foundation’s website for more info.
5. Volunteer Your Time
Of course, giving your time can be one of the most meaningful ways to donate to the foundation. Volunteers who are 18 or older can spend time with patients—sitting, listening, crafting, and just being a companion. The program also has places for marketing, event, office, and community outreach volunteers. No matter the position, the volunteers are at the core of what allows NOSDAF to continue to help touch the lives of patients.
Companies can also make a donation or sponsor an event. NOSDAF appreciates the gifts from organizations and recognizes the gifts and support on their website and social accounts. If a company would like to donate, they can contact our or NOSDAF’s representatives to find out more about how they can help.
A simple donation, no matter the form, can bring incredible hope to a patient’s life through the No One Should Die Alone Foundation. All gifts given to the foundation go directly to patients—not to salaries or vendors—so the impact is immense. Your donation can bring a patient happiness or help a family through a difficult time. For more information, visit NOSDAF online or contact one of our Ardent representatives today.
