Partners in philanthropy
“The test of a civilization is in the way that it cares for its helpless members.”
Pearl S. Buck
We are proud to live and work in a community with such a strong and vibrant
philanthropic sector. There are numerous active nonprofit organizations on Cape
Cod, Plymouth and in the South Shore, and we are honored to feature many of
them in the 2015 Giving Guide.
The Giving Guide is an excellent vehicle to learn more about the charitable orga-
nizations in our region, from their mission statements to their board members. We hope you will hold
on to this edition and refer back to it often when considering where to contribute your valuable time
and resources.
The 2015 Giving Guide would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors,
BlumShapiro and Eastern Bank, and we thank them for their commitment to bettering our world.
The businesses supporting the Giving Guide, and those that support nonprofits in our community, are
a vital part of the equation – without them, many organizations would not be able to carry out the
great work that they do.
As we head into 2015, let’s all take a moment and consider what we can do, as individuals, businesses
and organizations, to support and strengthen this wonderful place we call home.

Three pillars of community advocacy
Eastern Bank is proud to sponsor the fifth annual Cape & Plymouth Business Giving Guide, a special
publication that showcases the many nonprofit organizations making a difference throughout Cape
Cod, the Islands, Plymouth and the Shore Shore.
The Giving Guide offers businesses and businesspeople valuable information about how they can help
these organizations advance their mission – through volunteer work, donations and more. I encourage
you to learn more about these organizations, which improve the quality of life for thousands of people
living in the communities that we serve.
Supporting this year’s Giving Guide is very much in line with Eastern
Bank’s commitment to our communities, which rests on three pillars.
First, we have a robust philanthropic initiative that includes a compre-
hensive volunteerism component and donations made by the Eastern
Bank Charitable Foundation. In 2014, the Foundation donated nearly
$6 million to about 1,800 local nonprofit organizations. Additionally,
my Eastern colleagues logged about 50,000 hours of community ser-
vice.
Second, Eastern Bank is the preeminent community development lend-
ing bank in Massachusetts, serving the financial needs of hundreds of
nonprofits. Over the last 20 years, our community development lead-
ing team has provided more than $1.1 billion in socially responsible
development loans. Thousands of people have benefited from Eastern
Bank’s financing of affordable housing, homeless shelters, food banks,
health centers and more. Last year, we were very proud to provide $1.8
million to fund the construction of eight affordable housing family
units in Barnstable.
Third, we have a commitment to advocacy – to using our voice to
advocate for change on issues of social justice. As the largest and oldest
mutual bank in the United States, we feel a great responsibility to advocate for principles such as fair-
ness, honesty and justice to improve society. We also feel a responsibility to recognize other people and
businesses that are “doing good” in our communities.
A few years ago, Eastern Bank created the Community Advocacy Award, where every year we honor
a local person who has given their time and talent to address a vital need in their community. In
November 2014, I had the pleasure of honoring Ray Tamasi with our 2014 Community Advocacy
Award. Ray, President and CEO of Gosnold on Cape Cod, is an inspiration because of his dedication
to helping those affected by drug and alcohol addiction. It is local people and operations such as Ray
and Gosnold that we need to continue to applaud, celebrate and promote.
Also worthy of celebration is the staff and ownership at Cape & Plymouth Business. It is no small task
to create a special section such as the Giving Guide and we applaud their efforts, as communication is
key to the success of our local nonprofits.
And finally, we applaud and congratulate the nonprofit organizations in the pages that follow. We
thank the staff, volunteers and sponsors of these nonprofits, which every year demonstrate a renewed
commitment to improving our region.

Stewards of the community
BlumShapiro is honored again to sponsor the Cape & Plymouth Business annual Giving Guide. While we
as a firm work with nonprofit organizations on a daily basis with their auditing, tax and general consult-
ing needs, I am truly in awe by the commitment that those who work in the nonprofit sector have for
the individuals, programs and communities they serve. These individuals give back in all that they do on
a daily basis.
The nonprofit sector in general expands beyond providing essential services to those at risk, but also
encompasses improving the quality of life for all residents of their communities. The services provided
by these organizations include arts and cultural enrichment, education programs, health care and overall
preservation of our communities. The nonprofit sector also has a sig-
nificant impact on the Massachusetts economy. The Commonwealth is
home to more than 35,000 nonprofits, and they employ over 15 percent
of the state’s workforce.
As a businessperson and resident of the South Shore, I have seen the
nonprofit industry experience decreases in funding and increased
demands for their services in recent years. These factors, as well as
reductions in staffing and increased regulatory compliance, have put
even more demands on those who work in this sector. Despite these
challenges, professionals working in the nonprofit segment continue to
rise up and provide much-needed services with smiles on their faces. It is
this commitment to the better good and helping those less fortunate that
makes me truly enjoy working with these organizations on a daily basis.
A positive trend I have seen in recent years is the younger generation’s
desire to give back. In recruiting new talent at BlumShapiro, I have seen
a shift in questions from this generation focusing more on understand-
ing how their future employer is giving back to the communities in
which they are located. This isn’t just an interview formality – I am also
seeing a trend in new staff asking how they can get involved in giving
back to their community once they start with the firm. It is gratifying to
see younger professionals want to give back and make a difference in their community from the beginning
of their careers, and it is rewarding to be part of a firm that makes it easy for them to do so.
One of our firm values at BlumShapiro is Stewardship. Stewardship is the careful and responsible manage-
ment of that which is entrusted to our care. As good stewards of the community, the firm proudly con-
tributes time, talent and financial resources to a significant number of charitable and civic organizations.
Our people are actively involved in the firm’s community service activities, and they make suggestions
for other organizations and events to get involved in that are near and dear to their hearts. This is a great
trend and one that I hope to see continue.
I also hope that local nonprofits are able to benefit from this enthusiasm and willingness to get involved.
As a firm, we truly encourage individuals at all levels to get involved and give back. Our employees donate
time volunteering, serving as board members and in other leadership roles in over 160 organizations
throughout New England.
As you review this Giving Guide, please give focus to these remarkable organizations. Also, don’t be afraid
to get involved with these or other nonprofit organizations and give back to your community. If we all
work together, we can really make a difference.

4 reasons giving
is good for you
Philanthropist
says money can
buy happiness –
but only when
you give it away.
Many Americans
are choosing to
hold onto their
money these
days, a lesson
learned from the
2008-09 finan-
cial crash.
It’s good to have savings – but not to the
point of hoarding, says entrepreneur and phi-
lanthropist Tim McCarthy, author of Empty
Abundance.
Americans are saving at a rate of 5.30 percent,
well above the record low of 0.80 percent
in 2005, according to the U.S. Bureau of
Economic Analysis.
The world’s billionaires are holding an average
of $600 million each in cash, which is more
than the gross domestic product of Dominica,
according to the new Billionaire Census from
Wealth-X and UBS. That’s up from $60 mil-
lion the previous year, signaling that the very
wealthy are keeping their money on the side-
lines and waiting for an optimal investment
time.
“All of us could invest part of our ‘fortune,’
great or small, on something that gives back on
a deeper human level, such as non-predatory
loans to individuals from impoverished com-
munities,” says McCarthy.
McCarthy diverts all of his business profits
annually to his foundation, The Business of
Good, which invests in socially conscious busi-
nesses and scalable nonprofit concepts.
He reviews what everyone has to gain from
mindful giving:
• Money buys you happiness – up to $75,000
worth. Life satisfaction rises with income,
but everyday happiness – another measure
of well-being – changes little once a person
earns $75,000 per year, according to a 2010
Princeton study. Another widely published
survey by psychologist Roy Baumeister sug-
gested that “happiness, or immediate fulfill-
ment, is largely irrelevant to meaningfulness.”
In other words, so many who finally achieve
financial excess are unfulfilled by the rewards
that come with that.
• Remember the wealth disconnection to overall
fulfillment. A Gallup survey conducted in 132
countries found that people in wealthy coun-
tries rate themselves higher in happiness than
those in poor countries. However, 95 percent
of those surveyed in poverty-stricken countries
such as Ethiopia, Kyrgyzstan and Sierra Leone
reported leading meaningful lives, while less
than 60 percent reported the same in wealthier
countries.
“While more investigation to wealth, happiness
and well-being is certainly in order, I think it’s
clear that while money is important, it cannot
buy purpose, significance or overall satisfac-
tion,” McCarthy says.
• Giving money reliably equals happy money.
Two behavioral scientists, Elizabeth Dunn
and Michael Norton, explore in their recent
book, Happy Money: The Science of Smarter
Spending, what makes people engage in
“prosocial behavior” – including charitable
contributions, buying gifts and volunteering
time. According to Dunn and Norton, recent
research on happiness indicates that the most
satisfying way of using money is to invest in
others.
In 2010, multi-billionaires Warren Buffet and
Bill and Melinda Gates co-founded The Giving
Pledge, a long-term charitable effort that asks
the wealthiest among us to commit to giving
more than half of their fortunes to philan-
thropy. Among the first to join, Michael R.
Bloomberg wrote in his pledge letter: “If you
want to do something for your children and
show how much you love them, the single best
thing – by far – is to support organizations that
will create a better world for them and their
children.” To date, 115 of our country’s 495
billionaires have pledged.
• Anhedonia, amnesia and the fallacy of con-
sumption. Anhedonia is the inability to enjoy
activities that are typically found pleasurable.
“After making my wealth, I found that I
suffered from anhedonia,” McCarthy says.
“Mindful giving – intelligent and conscious
giving to those who need it – turned out to be
my best therapy.”
Everybody has experienced the limits of con-
sumption, the economic law of diminishing
returns. One cookie is nice and so, too, is your
first $1 million. But at some point, your abil-
ity to enjoy eating cookies or earning millions
diminishes more with each successive one.
“Everyone learns this lesson, yet the horror is
that so many of us succeed in forgetting it,”
McCarthy says. “I think that, in every moment,
we need to remind ourselves that continually
reaching for the next ‘cookie’ is not in our best
interest.”
Tim McCarthy’s first busi-
ness, WorkPlace Media,
reaches more than 70 mil-
lion employees with incen-
tives for clients such as
Coca-Cola, Lenscrafters
and McDonalds. He sold
the company in 2007 and
recently bought it back.
McCarthy is also the author
of Empty Abundance (mind-
fulgiving.org). In 2008, he
received the Fisher Alumnae
Community Service Award
and was named an Ernst
and Young Entrepreneur of
the Year.

Volunteering in America
Volunteering and Civic Life in America, an annual research report issued by the Corporation for
National and Community Service and the National Conference on Citizenship, shows that volunteer-
ing in the U.S. remains a strong component of the fabric of our nation across generations, enriching
both our communities and those who serve. Volunteering is a key component of civic life, along with
charitable giving, community involvement, voting, and other activities.
The report finds that one in four adults (26.5 percent) volunteered through an organization in 2012,
demonstrating that volunteering remains an important activity for millions of Americans. Altogether,
64.5 million Americans volunteered nearly 7.9 billion hours last year. The estimated value of this vol-
unteer service is nearly $175 billion, based on the Independent Sector’s estimate of the average value
of a volunteer hour.
Americans’ commitment to volunteering spans across gen-
erations. The volunteer rate of Generation Xers has trended
upward over the past 11 years, increasing nearly 5.5 per-
centage points, and Generation X has the highest volunteer
rate of any age group. Volunteering among teenagers (ages
16-19) has trended positively over the past six years up
nearly 3 percentage points since 2007. Volunteers age 65
and over spent a median of 90 hours on volunteer activities
in 2012, the highest among any age group, and far above
the 50 median annual hours served by the general volunteer
population. Working mothers continue to volunteer at a
significantly higher rate than the population as a whole. The volunteer rate of parents with children
under age 18 (33.5 percent) remained higher than the population as a whole (26.5 percent) and for
persons without children (23.8 percent).
In addition to improving the lives of neighbors and communities, volunteers can improve their
own lives by gaining skills, experience, and contacts that can be helpful in finding employment. The
Volunteering as a Pathway to Employment study found that volunteers have 27 percent higher odds
of finding a job after being out of work than non-volunteers. This effect may be due to developing new
skills and expanding personal networks.
Momentum is building around national service and its key role in addressing critical local issues. This
year marks the 20th anniversary of AmeriCorps, celebrating more than 800,000 members who have
served our country since the program began by tutoring and mentoring youth, supporting veterans and
military families, expanding economic opportunity, and rebuilding communities after natural disas-
ters. AmeriCorps members – and the 4 million volunteers they mobilized last year – continue to drive
positive change in our country’s areas of greatest need. Earlier this year, President Obama announced
the creation of the new Task Force on Expanding National Service to identify new ways the public
and private sectors can expand national service as a strategy for tackling national priorities and create a
pathway to opportunity for those who serve.

2015 GOALS
The Arc of Greater Plymouth was established in 1966 by a group of parents seeking better lives for their children.
Since that time The Arc of Greater Plymouth has grown into a full service agency for individuals with intellectual/
developmental disabilities. The Arc of Greater Plymouth serves people of all ages and their families. The mission
of our agency has evolved to include not only providing supports and opportunities to families and individuals,
but reaching out to all areas of the community where individuals can become valued and contributing citizens.
This has resulted in several important partnerships and has established The Arc of Greater Plymouth as a well-
respected and active participant in the Plymouth area community.
In 2015, The Arc of Greater Plymouth continues its commitment to raising awareness in our community as to our
mission and the abilities of those we serve. In order to succeed at what we do, we must continually learn, teach,

WHO WE ARE
Children’s Cove is a freestanding, child-friendly facility in the mid-Cape area designed to ensure that victims of
child sexual abuse and their non-offending family members have access to support and services in a safe, respect-
ful, and compassionate environment. We provide a safe and welcoming place where children who have been sexu-
ally or physically abused can begin their journey of healing.
WHAT WE DO
Children’s Cove provides a compassionate, efficient, child-friendly facility for child abuse intervention. Children
and families journey through a streamlined process, which reduces the chances that the children are re-trauma-
tized and preserves the best evidence for investigators.
Children’s Cove staff facilitates an under-one-roof collaboration of social and legal agencies to protect and advo-
cate for child abuse victims and their families, and to assist in the investigation of cases against the abusers. With
more than 730 Child Advocacy Centers in the U.S, Children’s Cove is the only agency of its kind that provides the
Cape & Islands with such comprehensive services.
We also provide community outreach services to the citizens of the Cape & Islands. In an effort to help educate
professionals and volunteers who work with children, Children’s Cove provides training and resources to schools,
summer camps, daycare centers, fire/police departments, and other community agencies. Children’s Cove also
hosts an annual conference on child abuse. Children’s Cove continues to spread awareness amongst the Cape
& Islands community with the belief that awareness can help adults identify problems and empower children to
report abuse.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
You can make a difference in the life of a child. It is through the support of people like you who donate, volunteer
and give their time that make Children’s Cove possible. One-time or recurring donations can be made via PayPal.
To learn more and make a donation, visit www.childrenscove.org/donate. All donations will benefit the children
and families we serve on Cape Cod and the Islands. Children’s Cove is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. Any
contributions are tax deductible.
Sponsorships of our various fundraising events are always appreciated. Check out www.childrenscove.org/events-
fundraisers for our schedule of 2015 events.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Due to the nature and confidentiality of our work, volunteers are best utilized for opportunities that do not directly
involve casework or working directly with children. To learn more and submit a volunteer application, visit www.
childrenscove.org, or call Beth Christensen at 508-375-0410 with any questions. Volunteers must be at least 18
years of age and are carefully background checked.

recovery.

2015 Goals
Addiction is a chronic disease that directly or indirectly affects every American and costs the economy nearly
$500 billion each year. There are more than 22 million addicted individuals and for each, four family members are
also affected. Our goals are as they have been for over 40 years:
• To provide treatment to men, women, and families who suffer with addiction and mental illness.
• To implement new techniques and technology to treat patients so they will live healthy and productive lives.
• To collaborate with the medical community — hospitals, community health centers, and primary care physicians
to enable early identification and intervention.
• To promote recovery through community awareness, education, and intervention.
Fundraising Events
• Team Gosnold at the Falmouth Road Race on August 16, 2015.
• 17th Annual Gosnold Charity Golf Tournament will be held at the Pocasset Golf Club on August 31, 2015
• The 5th Annual David Lewis 5K – A Celebration of Recovery will be held on September 5, 2015
For more details on these events and how to participate, call Mary Cotoia at 508-540-6550, ext. 5216 or
mcotoia@gosnold.org.
Giving Opportunities
Gosnold is committed to invest in innovative programs and services that will improve outcomes and help patients
maintain and sustain remission from addictive disease.
INVESTMENT IN PREVENTION
The best way to overcome addiction is to prevent it and that means investment in schools and communities. Our
goal is to reduce substance use among young people, support families affected by addiction, intervene before
addiction starts, and help build healthy communities. Through collaboration with community leaders, legislators,
school officials, health care professionals and families, we offer public education programs and community
initiatives that have real impact in our towns.
INVESTMENT IN EXTENDED CARE MANAGEMENT
Staying engaged with patients after they leave a detox or rehabilitation program is critical to sustaining remission
and avoiding readmission. Recovery Coaching, technology-based interventions, recovery socialization, and family
support help bridge the transition to community-based care following inpatient treatment. The Gosnold Recovery
Coaches are making that happen and the results are encouraging. More young people are sustaining long term
recovery and realizing their aspirations and ambitions.
INVESTMENT IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND MEDICAL CARE INTEGRATION
Gosnold clinicians are working in primary and specialty medical practices to enable early intervention with
patients affected by alcohol or drug use, depression, anxiety, and other conditions. This integrated “team”
approach can improve health outcomes for patients and reduce hospital and specialty inpatient treatment. This
innovative approach is already resulting in benefits and helping us take better care of patients.
Volunteer Opportunities
Gosnold patient alumni and community members graciously donate their time and talent to help fulfill the Gosnold
mission. Our volunteers participate in fundraising, organizing events, guest speaking, program enhancement, and
recovery advocacy. We are grateful for our volunteers and the energy and passion they bring to our organization.

WHAT WE DO
Rents and homeownership prices continue to be out of reach for many Cape Cod residents. Habitat for Humanity
of Cape Cod provides the opportunity of homeownership to members of that very large segment of our workforce
who derive their income from important but low-paying sectors of the Cape economy, such as: service, health
care, tourism, restaurant, retail, and clerical. Despite the stability of their income, such families are often shut out
of the local housing market entirely – rental or homeownership. And these families often face recurring crises in
their housing situations.
A few Habi-Facts
• We are currently in construction of our 93rd home with at least one HHCC home in each of the Cape’s 15 towns,
providing families with safe, permanently affordable housing. We serve families with incomes at or below 65
percent of median income who have the stability of income to pay our mortgage.
• Each Habitat for Humanity home is built in loving partnership with the community and with the family who will
purchase and live in the home. For every Habitat home, we rely on:
• Land donations
• Cash donations and grants to pay for materials and services that are not donated
• Community volunteers (130 or more will have a hand in building each home)
• Donations of construction materials and professional services
• The sweat equity of the family (at least 250 hours) that will purchase the house
• Each home is sold to a family selected on the basis of their compelling need for a decent, affordable home, their
willingness to partner with Habitat (building their home alongside community volunteers) and their ability to
make a monthly mortgage payment between $625 and $775 (depending on house size and length of mortgage).
• Every Habitat home is sold with a no-interest or low-interest mortgage. This is a basic principle of Habitat for
Humanity and part of what the Fullers refer to as “Biblical Economics.” This is one way we give hard-working
families “a hand up, not a hand out.”
• Every new Habitat home built on Cape Cod is deed-restricted to be affordable in perpetuity to another eligible
family upon resale. We have “resold” four homes to other eligible families.
• HHCC, like all Habitat affiliates, tithes 10 percent of its unrestricted donations to help build Habitat homes in
communities around the world.
Donations to Cars for HomesTM
will help us build more Habitat homes on Cape Cod! To donate your car,
truck, boat or RV, call 877-277-4344 or visit www.carsforhomes.org.
At Habitat for Humanity, we build affordable homes for those in need, using volunteers as construction workers.
No experience whatsoever is needed to volunteer to work on a construction site – expert teachers will train even
novice volunteers on the job, enabling them to be successful builders. But we also have a wide range of other vol-
unteer opportunities. Our retail store, the ReStore, is always looking for friendly staff people to help sell donated
furniture, appliances, and building supplies. In addition, volunteers are needed in specialized areas such as social
media, landscape design, photography, cooking, quilting, events, and social services. For more information, con-
tact Dawn Walnut, Volunteer Services Manager, at 508-362-3559, ext. 16, or dawn@habitatcapecod.org.

What We Do
The Homeless Prevention Council rescues families and individuals from the brink of homelessness. The organiza-
tion works one-on-one with household members to avert the immediate crisis and then find solutions that lead
to stabilization. These solutions can include: negotiation with landlords, mortgage holders and creditors; referrals
to other social services agencies; coaching on household and personal finances; and direct assistance to clear up
past-due bills. In 2013, Homeless Prevention Council worked with 852 cases, representing 1,641 people, including
726 children. These people are your Lower Cape neighbors, friends, employees.
How We Do It
Professional Case Management is our core program at HPC. When someone turns to us for help, they are imme-
diately assigned a case manager who works with them for as long as it takes to identify and solve the problems
that led to the near-homeless situation. Through this unique trust-based partnership the household members can
navigate their way through bureaucracy and access the maximum benefits offered. Additional HPC programs
support these households with school supplies, holiday gifts, and direct assistance, and through sister Lower Cape
agencies access to food pantries, clothing and counseling.
Giving Opportunities
We depend on donations from Lower/Outer Cape residents (seasonal and year round), businesses, churches and
civic organizations as well as town human services grants for financial support. No state or federal monies are
sought because of the limiting restrictions these funds impose.
Families that are enrolled in HPC’s Case Management have access to three HPC programs that accept donations.
Back Packs to School providing supplies for students; Adopt-a-Family offers gifts that a household could not
afford; and Direct Assistance avert an immediate crisis such as electricity turn off, past due rent, or gas for the
car to get to a medical appointment. Donations of products and cash are welcome.
People can also contribute by purchasing Grocery Gift Cards, a corporate program of Stop & Shop, Shaw’s and
CVS. For every card sold by HPC and the volunteer sales team, 5 percent of the face value of the card goes to the
organization. This program represents 13 percent of HPC revenue.
And through HPC’s Sustaining Partner Program people can make a monthly donation that is an automatic credit/
debit card deduction. Call our office at 508-255-9667 to speak with Christine Austin about your contribution and
what you’ll receive in return.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers at HPC work at the front desk fielding phone calls and welcoming visitors; planning and carrying out
fundraising events; doing light office work including filing and processing mailings; selling Grocery Gift Cards; and
supporting our Back Packs to School and Adopt-a-Family programs by packing school supplies or holiday gifts. And
as new programs develop, new volunteer opportunities present themselves.

2015 Goals
Touchingthelivesofpeoplecopingwithseriousillnesstakesdedicatedservicesandspecialsupport.AtHopeHealth,
that is our focus — providing innovative care with the utmost skill, compassion and respect. Established in 1981 as
Hospice of Cape Cod, we were one of the nation’s pioneer programs. Today, as HopeHealth, we serve thousands of
people each year delivering a wide range of expert medical care, care management and support services.
Our mission and Open Door PhilosophySM
inform all that we do: removing barriers to care, acting as advocates
for our patients, clients and caregivers and providing access to high-quality care for all who need it. We strive to
reach everyone who needs our help, regardless of intensity of their care requirements, the cost of their care or
their ability to pay.
HopeHealth relies on the generosity and support of the community to continue to meet its mission and to reach
all who need our services. Philanthropic community support often makes the crucial difference between the actual
cost of care and reimbursement received from insurance. This critical community support is provided through
annual and memorial giving, special events, planned gifts and grants.
Fundraising Events/Opportunities
Each year, HopeHealth hosts a variety of festive events, galas and other fundraising activities. The dollars raised
help to fulfill our organizational mission and enhance our services. HopeHealth’s 2015 events include:
HopeHealth Walk for Alzheimer’s, Sunday, May 17 at the Cape Cod Canal, Buzzards Bay Park. The Walk for
Alzheimer’s brings out hundreds of people to support caregivers and their loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease or
a related dementia. The funds raised help ensure that these families have access to the free programs, such as
respite grants and support groups, provided by Hope Dementia & Alzheimer’s Services.
28th
Annual Evening by the Sea Auction, Friday, July 24 at the Wianno Club in Osterville. Sponsorships are
available. Sponsors receive tickets to this always sold-out event, as well as many other benefits..
Celebrate Summer Memories Auction, Thursday, August 20 at the Wequassett Resort and Golf Club in Harwich.
Celebrate Summer Memories supports Hope Dementia & Alzheimer’s Services. Sponsorships are available.
Bike for Hope Hospice, Cape Cod in The Last Gasp Bike, Boat n’ Bake, on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2015. This Cape Cod
Charitable FunRaiser’s run event brings hundreds of cyclists out for a 62-mile ride from Sandwich to Provincetown
supporting Hope Hospice, Cape Cod and other local nonprofits.
Our 25th
Tree of Memories will take place between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day in 19 towns from Brockton to
Provincetown. Make a donation in any amount and a scallop shell ornament inscribed with your loved one’s name
will be hung on the tree of your choice. Remembrance ceremonies are held at each tree.
For more information on any event, call 508-957-0254 or email Giving@HopeHealthCo.org.
Giving Opportunities
It is through generous donors like you that we are able to render expert, compassionate care to hundreds of
people across the region. Whether someone needs pain relief, is grieving for a loved one, wants comprehensive
hospice care, attends a support group for caregivers and their loved ones living with dementia, or is in need of
physician care at home, HopeHealth relies on your generosity and kindness to fuel our mission.
There are many ways to give. And every gift, whether large or small, makes a real difference. You can decide how
to direct your gift - Hope Hospice, Hope HouseCalls, Hope Dementia & Alzheimer’s Services or where it is needed
most in the HopeHealth family of services.
Volunteer Opportunities
There are so many ways to help make a real and lasting difference in someone’s life. HopeHealth volunteers
are vital members of our care and support teams. They work in partnership with our staff at the bedside, at
fundraising events, in the community or in one of our administrative offices. We provide regularly scheduled
orientation and training classes throughout the year. For more information, visit HopeHealthCo.org or contact
Info@HopeHealthCo.org.
25. Honoring all who serve.
At The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod, we’re proud to support the organizations
that support the men and women who have served in the armed forces. Through our

for the Troops Golf Tournament, the Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center and
Grace Veterans Program, and the Hyannis VA Outpatient Clinic, we’re committed to
serving those who have served. We salute you and thank you for your sacrifice.

WHO WE ARE
Old Colony Elder Services (OCES) provides a variety of services to those individuals most in need. Through our
programs we offer significant life-supporting care contributing to an individual’s ability to live within the com-
munity as independently as possible for as long as possible while preserving dignity and quality of life. OCES is the
largest provider of these comprehensive and intensive services for older adults and individuals with disabilities in
the southeastern part of Massachusetts.
2015 GOALS
• Increasing the number of Money Management Program volunteers to eliminate the waitlist;
• Expanding the Transitions Support Program by working closely with hospitals, physicians, skilled nursing facili-
ties and others to ensure older adults and individuals with disabilities transfer smoothly and safely from one
care setting to another (i.e., from hospital or nursing facility to home);
• Implementing the successful Supportive Housing Program in an additional location;
• Continuing expansion of the much-needed Nutrition Program; and
• Increasing outreach and education efforts through Options Counseling and other programs to raise awareness
of available community long term services and supports.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
For more information, contact OCES’ Volunteer Coordinator at bcarrens@oldcolonyelderservices.org or at 508-
584-1561.
Money Management Program – Volunteers are assigned to assist older adults and individuals with disabilities by
providing a personalized money management service. They make home visits at least once a month to help keep
track of income and expenses. Volunteers receive ongoing support and training from OCES’ Money Management
Coordinator.
Meals on Wheels – Older adults who meet program eligibility can receive meals delivered to their homes. The
meals provide an important nutritional supplement for recipients who are unable to prepare their own. An
individual can volunteer as a driver delivering meals to older adults at home or as a food server at one of OCES’
Nutrition Program preparation sites.
Adopt A Route – This is an opportunity for your business to make a huge impact in the lives of at-risk older
adults and individuals with disabilities in your community. It is very simple and easy and requires only one to two
hours of time from each volunteer/employee once or twice a month. This is a chance for you to give back locally
by supporting a cause that is important to your customers, employees and their families.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
You can help OCES assist older adults and individuals with disabilities who are in need. Your contributions will
support services like personal care homemakers, home health aides, home-delivered/congregate meals, laundry
and food shopping. OCES also uses your donations to aid those in emergency/crisis situations. For example, OCES
could purchase life-sustaining medications, food, heating fuel or partial furnace replacement or repair. To make a
donation, visit the donation page on our website www.oldcolonyelderservices.org/donate.

Mission
• To commemorate the initial landing of the Mayflower in 1620 in Provincetown Harbor, where she anchored for
nearly six weeks prior to moving on to Plymouth. It was in Provincetown Harbor that the Mayflower Compact
was written and signed. The Compact was a seminal document that declared self-rule as a principle of gover-
nance in the new Colony.
• To collect, preserve, interpret, research, exhibit, and publish archival historical materials and exhibit materials
depicting important events of Provincetown history.
• To maintain the Pilgrim Monument, buildings and land to accommodate its libraries and collections.
Vital Stats
The Pilgrim Monument was built between 1907-1910 and is the tallest all-granite structure in the United States.
The Cornerstone was laid in 1907 by President Theodore Roosevelt, and the Monument was dedicated in 1910 by
President William H. Taft.
The Monument is 252 feet 7.5 inches tall, and the top of the Monument is 353 feet above sea level. A leisurely walk
to the top on 60 ramps and 116 stairs provides a spectacular view of the entire Cape.
Funding
Operating support is derived from admissions revenue, gift shop sales, parking fees, facility rentals (wedding
venue), Business Members, Individual Members and charitable contributions.
Recent significant support has been received from the Massachusetts Cultural Council Cultural Facilities Fund, the
Ruth Hiebert Charitable Foundation, the Hermann Foundation, Seamen’s Bank, Cape Air, Town of Provincetown
Tourism Fund, Coastal Engineering, and others.
2015
Special Exhibitions:
“Forgotten Port: Provincetown’s Whaling Heritage” – held over - this highly acclaimed exhibit presents
Provincetown’s significant contribution to the whaling era up to current day global leadership in whale conservation
and education.
“Captured 1614” (April – June) – a multi-media exhibit that presents from a Wampanoag perspective the abduction
of 20 Wampanoag men including Squanto from the village of Patuxet, which was ultimately renamed Plymouth.
2015 will be a significant year for the organization as planning is underway for 2020 – the 400th Anniversary of the
Mayflower landing. It is expected that attendance will double in the coming four years as that Anniversary inspires
increased tourism across the region. Planning includes a re-configuration of the permanent exhibitions in the
Museum, significant capital legacy projects and special events.
Philanthropic support will be essential to success in the coming months and will be used for capital needs and other
lasting assets.
Business and Individual Membership provides annual operational support for the organization’s “margin of excellence”
and provides these thoughtful donors with excellent value. Membership support is crucial to the Museum’s operation.
In addition to financial support, the Monument and Museum offers exceptional volunteer opportunities.
Please contact John McDonagh, Executive Director, for more information on how your interests and support can be
put to its highest and best use.

2015 GOALS
In 2015, as Sacred Heart School celebrates its 67th year offering top-tier Catholic education to students of the
South Shore and Cape Cod, we do so with a renewed commitment to our school mission which directs us to “Inspire
Minds and Foster Faith.”
Our academic and co-curricular program is thoughtfully crafted to prepare a generation of leaders with integrity,
character and wisdom. Sacred Heart educators in our preschool, elementary, middle, and high school work daily
to ignite an unmatched thirst for learning among their students by creating learning environments that engage
and challenge.
Supporting Sacred Heart’s effort to provide students with fully integrated technology across the campus is a new
S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) Initiative. The Initiative features a recently completed
Science & Innovation Center (upper grades) FOSS kits (lower grades,) iPad One-One Program, additional iPad
learning centers, a new piano keyboard lab, and renovation and equipment upgrades to the Kohout-Dingley
Observatory.
Sacred Heart’s 2015 academic year includes plans to maximize learning opportunities in the S.T.E.A.M. disciplines
both within the classroom/lab, and during out-of-classroom experiences. The implementation of a Robotics
Program to heighten student creativity while developing skills in science and engineering, expansion of the
performing arts options including band, and in-school instrumental instruction and the development of increased
cross-curricular study will all highlight our year and achieve the school’s goal to provide our students with an
education that prepares them for today and tomorrow.
FUNDRAISING EVENTS/OPPORTUNITIES
The Sacred Heart Annual Fund is the backbone of the school’s fundraising efforts and bridges the gap between the
actual cost of a Sacred Heart education and tuition revenues. By providing unrestricted funds to the operating
budget, the Annual Fund supports our educational program, and is critical to maintaining Sacred Heart’s tradition
of offering an exceptional learning experience for each student.
In addition, the Advancement Office coordinates an annual Gala & Auction, the Sacred Heart Golf Classic and other
fundraising events to support school initiatives and programing needs.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
There are a variety of different giving opportunities at Sacred Heart for interested donors. Gifts can be directed
to a specific program or facility or they can be unrestricted and benefit the area of greatest need on campus.
Additionally, memorial and tribute giving provides donors the opportunity to advance Sacred Heart’s mission while
benefiting the school’s tuition assistance fund.
Leadership gifts to the President’s Council are especially meaningful, and demonstrate the donor’s desire to
impact the school mission in a transformative way; for instance, by supporting a capital project, or endowing a
scholarship fund.
Donors may also choose to plan their charitable giving by including Sacred Heart School in a bequest. In doing so,
the donor can be assured that they will be impacting future generations and leaving a legacy that will positively
change the lives of countless young people.
Gifts to Sacred Heart School may be made in many ways; including online, by check or credit card.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Sacred Heart School is able to achieve its mission and develop our vision for future growth and sustainability
thanks to the commitment and dedication of countless volunteers who selflessly give of their time and resources
to ensure a meaningful Catholic education for our students. Representing multiple constituencies within the
school, alumni, and community business partners, volunteers share their expertise by serving on the Board of
Directors, on special event committees, as guest presenters, and in the classroom and on the athletic fields.

Who We Are
• We are proud to be the single largest non-governmental funder of human service programs on the Cape and
Islands.
• The funds we raise here, stay here.
• We are locally chartered, professionally managed and independently governed by an all-volunteer board of local
leaders.
• Unlike most United Way member organizations, large corporate workplace campaigns are not a significant por-
tion of our revenue due to the nature of our community; we rely on the generosity of local businesses and both
year-round and seasonal residents.
• We recruit people who have a passion for our community; people who want to help drive social impact and bring
lasting change.
OUR COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROCESS
Our funding is distributed through a competitive grant process that leverages collaboration, sustainability,
and measurable results to drive social impact. Grant decisions are recommended by Community Investment
Committees made up of citizen volunteers.
OUR FUNDING PRIORITIES
We presently focus our funding on three strategic areas: helping children achieve their potential, sustaining work-
ing families, and supporting health and wellness for aging and vulnerable populations.
IMPACT OPPORTUNITIES
Corporate Gifts: Invest in more than 40 critical human service programs with one corporate gift; put all of your
“asks” in one basket.
Payroll Deduction: Facilitate a shared sense of purpose among your employees when your business offers payroll
deductions.
Event Sponsorship: Promote your business through sponsorship of our signature fundraising event: “Best Night
of the Year.” Donations of goods and services for our auction are always needed as well.
Day of Caring: Participate in a volunteer project with one of our local nonprofits partners as you promote team-
work and gain visibility for your business.
Volunteer: Join a Community Investment Committee, event committee, or our board of directors and be part of
a very special “community of caring.”
