We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

  • THE SUNCOAST HOSPICE CARE CENTERS, ALSO KNOWN AS INPATIENT CENTERS, ARE PLACES OF REFUGE FOR OUR PATIENTS WHEN THEY SUFFER SEVERE PAIN OR EXPERIENCE ACUTE SYMPTOMS THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED OR MANAGED IN THEIR OWN HOMES. CARE WITH COMPASSION IS PROVIDED AT THESE THREE CENTERS. EACH SUNCOAST HOSPICE CARE CENTER IS STAFFED BY MEDICAL TEAMS AVAILABLE 24-HOURS A DAY, 7-DAYS A WEEK IN SETTINGS DESIGNED EXPRESSLY FOR THE COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE OF OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. OUR PATIENTS STAY IN A CENTER UNTIL THEIR PAIN AND SYMPTOMS ARE CONTROLLED ENOUGH TO ALLOW THEM TO COMFORTABLY RETURN TO THEIR RESIDENCES - THEIR CHOSEN ACTIVITIES - THEIR LIVES. EACH CENTER HAS ITS OWN DISTINCT ENVIRONMENT AND SETTING, BUT SHARES A COMMON GOAL OF CREATING A SENSE OF COMFORT, PEACE, AND TRANQUILITY.

    Expenses $12,254,678 · Revenue $15,577,292

  • OTHER PROGRAMS - OTHER IMPORTANT SUNCOAST HOSPICE SERVICES OFFERED ARE GRIEF OR BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT AND COUNSELING. WHILE STAGES OF GRIEF HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, NO TWO PEOPLE GRIEVE IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY OR IN PRESCRIBED TIME FRAMES. SUNCOAST HOSPICE OFFERS GRIEF COUNSELING AND SUPPORT TO THOSE IT SERVES IN ITS HOSPICE PROGRAMS AS WELL AS TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. A SPECIAL CAMP FOR CHILDREN IN GRIEF IS OFFERED EACH YEAR AS WELL AS OTHER PROGRAMS AND SESSIONS FOR YOUNGSTERS WHO ARE TRYING TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE DEATH OF SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN CLOSE TO THEM. AS TESTAMENT TO ITS COMMITMENT TO THE PINELLAS COMMUNITY AND THE WELL-BEING OF ITS CITIZENS, SUNCOAST HOSPICE OFFERS EDUCATION AND TRAINING ON A WIDE VARIETY OF SUBJECTS AND TO VARIED AUDIENCES.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.
