Mission

CRESCENT COVE OFFERS CARE AND SUPPORT TO CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH A SHORTENED LIFE EXPECTANCY, AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO LOVE THEM.

  • FAMILY SERVICES - CRESCENT COVE PROVIDES CARE AND SUPPORT TO CHILDREN WITH SHORTENED LIFE EXPECTANCIES AND THE FAMILIES WHO LOVE THEM. IN 2024, CRESCENT COVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES SUPPORTED FROM 386 IN 2023 TO 414 IN 2024. CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WERE SERVED FOR RESPITE OR END-OF-LIFE CARE FOR 734 NIGHTS. FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF A REFERRAL AND COMPLETION OF ENROLLMENT PAPERWORK, FAMILIES WHO HAVE CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS RECEIVE SUPPORT BY BRINGING THEIR CHILD AND/OR FAMILY FOR A SHORT STAY AT CRESCENT COVE'S HOSPICE AND RESPITE HOME IN ORDER TO HAVE A NECESSARY BREAK FROM THE DEMANDING 24/7 CARES FOR THEIR CHILD. CRESCENT COVE ALSO OFFERS A SACRED AND SUPPORTIVE PLACE TO BE WHEN A CHILD IS DYING. CRESCENT COVE HAS REGISTERED NURSES AND CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANTS CARING FOR CHILDREN 24/7 WITH SUPPORT FROM TWO SOCIAL WORKERS, A CHILD EXPERIENCE SPECIALIST, A MEDICAL DIRECTOR, THE DIRECTOR OF NURSING AND OPERATIONS AND VOLUNTEERS. IN 2024, CRESCENT COVE MET INFECTION CONTROL STANDARDS WITH NO TRANSMISSIONS OF ILLNESSES BETWEEN STAFF AND CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SERVED. IN 2024, CRESCENT COVE WELCOMED PARENTS FOR 74 OVERNIGHT STAYS TO ACCOMPANY THE FIRST NIGHT OF RESPITE STAY FOR CHILDREN AS WELL AS THOSE STAYING FOR END-OF-LIFE CARE. INTEGRATIVE THERAPIES LIKE MUSIC THERAPY, MASSAGE THERAPY, CREATIVE ARTS AND PET THERAPY CONTINUED TO BE PROVIDED SEVERAL TIMES EACH WEEK. CRESCENT COVE HOSTED A SIBLING CAMP WITH 20 PARTICIPANTS, AS WELL AS FAMILY GATHERINGS FOR A SPRING FLING, BACK TO SCHOOL GATHERING, MEMORIAL GATHERING AND A HOLIDAY DRIVE-THRU. ADVOCACY - A LARGE PART OF CRESCENT COVE'S EFFORT TOWARDS ACHIEVING OUR MISSION IS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS. IN EARLY 2023, CRESCENT COVE SUBMITTED A BILL TO THE MINNESOTA STATE LEGISLATURE ADVOCATING FOR STATE COVERAGE FOR END-OF-LIFE CARE FOR CHILDREN AT A RESIDENTIAL HOSPICE. THE BILL PASSED IN SUMMER 2023. ADDITIONALLY, CRESCENT COVE HOSTED ITS ANNUAL PEDIATRIC PALLIATIVE CARE SYMPOSIUM IN NOVEMBER, 2024, , WITH NEARLY 100 PARTICIPANTS AND 6 LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PRESENTERS. THE MISSION OF CRESCENT COVE WAS ALSO SHARED AT SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS WITH ROTARY CLUBS, LIONS CLUB AND MANY OTHER EVENTS HELD AND PLANNED IN SUPPORT OF CRESCENT COVE'S MISSION. INTERNALLY, EDUCATION IS OFFERED ON A REGULAR BASIS TO STAFF AT MONTHLY CLINICAL MEETINGS AND QUARTERLY ALL-STAFF MEETINGS AS WELL AS AN ALL-DAY STAFF EDUCATION DAY IN SEPTEMBER.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
