Yes. You can dedicate your gift to honor a loved one, mark a milestone, or recognize a chaplain who made a difference in your life. You will have the option to include their name and a dedication message when making your gift.

Because our spiritual care is provided by trained, board-certified chaplains, we do not have volunteer roles at the bedside. However, you can get involved by sharing our mission, advocating for spiritual care in your local community, or subscribing to our newsletter for updates. If you are interested in chaplaincy as a career, you can also explore our Clinical Pastoral Education program.

Because our core work focuses on preparing and placing professional chaplains, we rely primarily on financial gifts. If you have a specific item or professional service you would like to offer, please contact us to see if it meets a current need.
