Ways that your gift supports the IAHPC mission
Members’ gift
Give a gift, get a gift
IAHPC members: When you gift a 2-year membership to someone in a low- or middle-income country, we’ll extend your current membership by 6 months.
Education
Through our educational initiatives we place practical knowledge in the hands of health care professionals and caregivers. We provide financial support to support participation in educational events. Your gift helps us continue developing courses and fund learning opportunities for palliative care workers as well as maintain and update resources to help palliative care tools for education.

Advocacy and Partnerships
Advocacy work for the inclusion of palliative care in health policies that lead to the improvement of quality of life of patients and caregivers. Your gift enables us to continue building and strengthening partnerships to accelerate global, regional, and national advocacy for palliative care.
Research
We design and conduct studies that help us provide guidance and recommendations and take action based on the responses from the global palliative care community. Your gift enables us to continue doing research such as one we just completed to evaluate the impact of euthanasia and assisted dying practices on palliative care workers.
Information Dissemination
We disseminate information to raise public awareness and optimize the impact of our work. Our monthly newsletter and through our social media channels, we amplify the voices of providers and caregivers by sharing their stories. Our website registers almost 20,000 visitors per month, while Pallipedia – the online palliative care dictionary - registers 60,000 visitors per month. Your gift enables us to continue improving media campaigns to raise awareness and increase access to care for patients and families.
Make a donation for general funds
We are a small organization that allocates over 80% of its budget to mission driven programs and our free website. However, someone has to do the work – and we need funds to continue operating. (amount open)
