Helping a Senior

Elder Care Alliance programs rely on generous financial gifts from donors. Our programs have charitable care policies that provide financial assistance to older adults who have depleted their resources. As our population ages, we will face an even greater challenge to meet the charitable care needs of residents. Through diligent fundraising efforts, our programs have been able to provide excellent care and services for residents. We continue to reach out to the community to ensure that we will be able to continue our mission into the future.

People and businesses give us financial donations for a number of reasons:

  • We are a nonprofit, faith-centered, non-sectarian community committed to the mission of our sponsors, the Sierra Pacific Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, Regional Community of Burlingame
  • We provide valuable care and service to seniors throughout California
  • The financial donations go directly to programs that serve the elderly

Your donation can be unrestricted or designated to one of the following programs:

You can contribute by providing current gifts, such as cash, stocks or property. Or you may wish to provide a deferred gift in the form of a charitable gift annuity, a charitable remainder trust, bequest or any number of planned giving programs which your financial advisor may suggest. These programs can make the most efficient use of your funds and are usually designed to minimize tax consequences.

For more information or to make a contribution, call 510-534-8547 x323 or email us at donations@eldercarealliance.org

 

Volunteers

Elder Care Alliance programs have a long history of volunteerism. We have dedicated volunteers who have been a part of our program for over fifty years.
