It is our goal to open a hospice care home, or hospice house, in the year 2026. A hospice care home is a specialized facility that provides a compassionate setting for individuals with life-limiting illnesses.
It is designed to offer a supportive environment for patients and their families, focusing on their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Your generous donation will help fund the mission to bring this to our community.
Heart of Acara Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
All gifts are tax deductible.
Your donation of any amount will help us continue to fulfill a wish or provide the extras that are needed for those with a terminal illness.
Need-based grants have included groceries, payment of one month's rent or a window AC unit.
Wish grants are usually simple in nature and so far have varied from attending a sporting event, to a manicure/pedicure, to a meal at a favorite restaurant or a trip to the lake with family. Being able to fulfill even the smallest wish
Heart of Acara Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization. All gifts are tax deductible. A gift letter will be sent to the donor for tax purposes.
To celebrate a life and honor its end, Heart of Acara Foundation has a Memorial Heart Tree located in the main office of Acara Hospice at 601 Graham Road in College Station, Texas. You can pay tribute to your loved one or someone special, or give a gift of gratitude for your hospice team members. Memorial Heart Tree Remembrance giving options include:
Gold Heart with engraved name plate $75.00
Silver Heart with engraved name plate $35.00

Yes. Heart of Acara Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing financial relief or amenities to improve the quality of life for those diagnosed with a terminal illness, and supporting community awareness and access to end-of-life care.
Currently, Heart of Acara Foundation works collaboratively with the clinical teams at Acara Hospice to carry out patient wishes. A patient wish might be a family reunion, an outing to a favorite place or something as simple as a spa day.
Sometimes a wish is more of a need, such as a air-conditioner/heater for comfort, help with rent or grocery bills. Heart of Acara Foundation can assist with these life essentials.
Any of your Hospice team can help to prepare a request to the Foundation or you may contact Charli Smith by email at charli@heartofacarafoundation.org. Inquiries can also be made by calling 979-661-7441.
Heart of Acara Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Foundation is funded by donations from caring individuals. Often a donation is made as a memorial gift in memory of a loved one or someone special.
ANY hospice patient who is living – or willing to live - in the area where this house is located will be eligible to live in our hospice house. Other factors, such as life expectancy and financial need, will apply. Access will not be limited to terminally ill patients who are on Acara Hospice; we intend for this to be a community hospice house.
Any hospice agency who provides care for a patient in our hospice house will have an up-to-date business agreement on file.
Ideally, we hope to build the hospice house in a location that can be accessible to the majority of people in territories we are equipped to serve. Brazos County and Grimes County are two biggest considerations at this point.
