GIVING STRATEGY
The Foundation is anchored in its commitment and service to its five areas of giving: basic needs, loneliness and isolation, socialization and personal development, cognitive disorders, and living environment. These areas guide our giving and choice of donation recipients.
BASIC NEEDS Donations covering basic needs include clothing, shoes and toiletries. It may include requests for assistance in creating a place or system to distribute basic amenities. For example, the creation of a system to distribute second-hand
clothing to residents. Food banks and housing assistance programs are also considered under basic needs.
