Our Mission
To inspire your best life as you define it.
To inspire your best life as you define it.
To inspire the good in our fellow human beings whose gifts provide the opportunity for others to live life with enthusiasm, confidence and security regardless of economic circumstances.
Nearly 60 years later our team carries on that rich tradition, raising funds to support those living and working in our communities.
Today our assets total more than $110 million, with much of it dedicated to providing benevolent support to those residents living in HumanGood communities who, through no fault of their own, have outlived their financial resources. Benevolence enables these residents to continue to live in the communities that they have called home for many years.
Although distributions from these benevolent funds exceed $2 million per year, it is not enough to fully cover the cost of this worthy cause. Your ongoing support of the HumanGood Foundation, especially its benevolence funds, will help us close the gap.
In addition to benevolence, leaders from across HumanGood work together to identify the best ways to use philanthropy to accelerate innovation wherever we operate. Leaders, team members and residents from throughout the organization are involved; every program is enriched. Our goal is to support HumanGood’s leadership in serving older adults with an innovative spirit and transformative action.
