Making a Lasting Difference
In 2000, the Northcrest Foundation was created with a mission "to assist Northcrest, Inc. by encouraging charitable giving from individuals and organizations."
Northcrest has been blessed over the years with generous donors who recognized the importance of supporting the mission of Northcrest through gifts to the Northcrest Foundation. We are grateful for their support and look forward to helping future donors realize their philanthropic goals.
Donors are assured their gifts will be directed to the fund and purpose of their choice. Since the Foundation does not operate Northcrest Community, and because it has a separate Board of Directors, it can be independent but still act for the benefit of Northcrest.
The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors which consists of current members of the Northcrest, Inc. Board of Directors and at least two community members.
Your gift can make a difference in many ways.
When you give to the Northcrest Foundation, you are honoring and supporting a ministry of senior housing and healthcare. Perhaps you desire to create a legacy within an organization that has touched your life or the life of someone you love.
The various funds that are part of the Northcrest Foundation are as follows:
-
Permanent Endowment Fund

Your gift provides long-term financial stability to the programs and property of Northcrest.
