Donations and Other Ways to Help
We need your help!
Bampa’s House is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. Funding for Bampa’s House comes 100% from the generosity of others – through monetary and in-kind private donations, corporate sponsorships, memorials, grants, bequests, and our own fundraising events.
Bampa’s House does not charge the residents or their families and does not receive any health care reimbursement through insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, the government, or any other programs or organizations. That is why it is critical to have continual financial support from the surrounding community.
Join us in supporting end-of-life care options in our community! All donations in any amount are truly appreciated!
