Supporting documentation
The HCA Healthcare Hope Fund is required to obtain supporting documentation for every grant given because the Hope Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and not an HCA Healthcare employee benefit.
The forms of supporting documentation required for each situation are listed below. You can attach all supporting documentation to your online application, or you can email the documentation to hopefund@hcahealthcare.com or fax it to 866-337-4354. Please be sure your name and 3-4 ID are on the cover page. Note that the Hope Fund staff may ask for additional forms of documentation to verify your event and need.
