“The officers of phoebe ministries devote their time to each organization in the group (see schedule r). However, the time needed for each organization varies widely from week to week, month to month, etc., and consequently, it would be extremely difficult to provide an accurate analysis of the approximate time devoted to each entity. Phoebe ministries prefers not to provide information that it cannot substantiate and therefore will list 40 hours per week for each of its officers as an alternative to reporting hours worked for related organizations.”

Those served by charitable care are able to receive phoebe's quality care and programming, ensuring that each and every resident, no matter their age or ability, can experience innovative services that promote fullness of life. The annual golf tournament is phoebe's largest fundraising event of the year and directly benefits residents who receive charity care. The golf tournament typically nets approximately $100,000 for charitable care at phoebe. In 2018, the tournament's 10th year, 228 golfers attended. The event netted $109,000 for compassionate care to residents, bringing the total raised over 10 years to more than $1 million.

An unrestricted gift may be used to support charitable care, community life or pastoral care programming, or other community and program enhancements. Phoebe also accepts restricted gifts. Donors are encouraged to first discuss their ideas for restricted gifts with the philanthropy office to assure the appropriate use of their charitable gift and official acceptance.

Finally, phoebe is also blessed by donors who have established permanent endowments that are prudently invested and provide income in perpetuity. Donors also provide support to phoebe through trusts of various types, while others choose to utilize charitable gift annuities (a simple contract with phoebe ministries) as a means of making a significant gift to phoebe while retaining a life income stream.
