Fulfilling a need
Eventide, as a team driven, spiritual organization, works each and every day to provide steadfast support to our residents. It’s the reason the Eventide Foundation is dedicated to raising private support that advances Eventide’s mission. That mission: to promote quality of life in a Christian environment for seniors and their families by providing innovation and leadership in senior living resulting in individualized services in a variety of settings.

Our work does not stand alone.
At the Eventide Foundation, we raise private support to sustain the many elements Eventide needs to fulfill its mission. In addition to a full continuum of housing and care services, Eventide also offers spiritual care programs and extensive activities schedules. We work with donors to find the charitable gifting options that best fit their philanthropic goals, and make every attempt to provide options so that people considering gifts can decide if writing a check, making a bequest or establishing a gift annuity is right for them. In recent years, the Foundation has directly supported the purchase of a new resident van, the addition of new wellness and therapy equipment and the development of the Short Stay Centre.

Your gift to Eventide Senior Living Community can support our mission in a number of ways.

Unrestricted Gifts
Gifts for undesignated purposes enable Eventide to respond quickly to the areas of greatest need throughout our organization. Unrestricted gifts are used to meet our top priorities for resident care and services.

Chaplaincy Endowment
The Chaplaincy Endowment is an important source to ensure the residents of Eventide receive quality spiritual care. Gifts to the Chaplaincy Endowment are held in trust with only the earnings spent. The earnings from the Chaplaincy Endowment provide a permanent source of revenue for the Chaplaincy program, which includes weekly worship services, bible studies, support groups, devotional prayer and pastoral care.

Elder Care Endowment
Wide-ranging care means that our residents can receive better care. Eventide’s continuum of care provides support and programs specifically tailored for individual needs. The Elder Care Endowment provides new equipment or services to respond to the changes in senior health care.

Barb Rom Endowment
Given in honor of Eventide’s first volunteer coordinator, the Barb Rom Endowment helps strengthen Eventide’s volunteer program. Approximately 400 people volunteer their time to Eventide. By naming the Barb Rom Endowment you will enable and encourage the work of many individuals who give of their time and energy to help accomplish Eventide’s mission.

Scholarship Endowment
Eventide has established a scholarship program to encourage and assist employees. The scholarship endowment will help recruit and retain dedicated employees and help Eventide continue its tradition of quality service though a well-trained staff.

Future Support
All charitable gifts are meaningful, but certain gifts can have added significance for you and for Eventide. These gifts are often called planned gifts and may also be known as estate gifts. People of any income or estate can express important values by including Eventide in their estate plans. Planned gifts of bequests, charitable gift annuities, and beneficiary designations or gifts of more immediate support may include gifts of cash, stock or other securities.

All gifts to Eventide are life-changing in one way or another, and greatly appreciated by all. Any gift, whether immediate or deferred, can have special significance by being given in memory or honor of a friend or loved one. Eventide Foundation prepares this information for donors and friends. Its purpose is to provide helpful information to those who plan charitable gifts. You should always consult a financial advisor to assure the applicability of any information to your own circumstances.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or ideas you have about supporting Eventide.
