In addition to her volunteer work at <strong>Rainbow</strong>, Ms. MacAlister also served as a trustee on the board<br />

of the Blowitz-Ridgeway Foundation, which was created in 1984 to focus on supporting nonprofits<br />

which provide medical <strong>and</strong> psychological services to economically disadvantaged children <strong>and</strong><br />

adolescents. Over the years, with Ms. MacAlister’s support, <strong>Rainbow</strong> applied for <strong>and</strong> received<br />

several grants to exp<strong>and</strong> services including music therapy.<br />

<strong>Rainbow</strong> <strong>Hospice</strong> Endowment Campaign<br />

Our Seeing Beyond the Rain Endowment Campaign has reached the amazing milestone of $1,000,000. The final goal<br />

is to create an endowment fund of $5 million by 2014 through current <strong>and</strong> deferred gifts. This support will fortify all of our<br />

philanthropically supported programs such as the Good Mourning Program for bereaved children <strong>and</strong> families, our very<br />

special Music <strong>and</strong> Massage Therapy programs, <strong>and</strong> education through our LIFE Institute.<br />

The strength of a nonprofit organization like <strong>Rainbow</strong> <strong>Hospice</strong> is often measured by the funds it holds in reserve to<br />

support its operations <strong>and</strong> provide stability in times of future economic uncertainty. Our campaign, Seeing Beyond the<br />

Rain, is helping to build the resources that will maintain <strong>and</strong> grow <strong>Rainbow</strong> <strong>Hospice</strong> programs <strong>and</strong> facilities far into the<br />

future.<br />

Endowment gifts can be made to <strong>Rainbow</strong> <strong>Hospice</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Palliative</strong> <strong>Care</strong> through a variety of giving plans, including pledges<br />

of cash or stocks, bequests, <strong>and</strong> many planned gift instruments. Donors who make a gift or pledge of $25,000 or more<br />

can elect to have a Fund in the name of their choosing. Named Funds are maintained <strong>and</strong> updated through <strong>Rainbow</strong><br />

<strong>Hospice</strong> <strong>and</strong> can be used to gather <strong>and</strong> grow support throughout the campaign.<br />
