The Foundation provides grants across a broad spectrum of hospice-related programs - including physician education on palliative medicine, AIDS education/prevention, seminary-student internships in hospices, training for nurses to communicate with the hearing impaired through sign language, increasing minority use of hospice, and dealing with grief-in-the-workplace.

This year, in addition to this teleconference, the Hospice Foundation of America began publishing a monthly newsletter, Journeys, written for hospices and others to distribute to the bereaved, began a hospice information and educational outreach program to members of the military through family service centers and chaplains, and produced A Guide for Recalling and Telling Your Life Story, to assist people in writing their autobiographies.
