Creating Opportunities Through Philanthropy

To support its philanthropic initiatives, FellowshipLIFE created the FellowshipLIFE Foundation.
FellowshipLIFE Foundation’s mission is to advance the FellowshipLIFE mission of creating innovative opportunities to enrich the lives of older adults by providing philanthropic support to benefit residents affiliated with life plan communities and older adults throughout the region. The Foundation focuses its efforts on four main areas of giving:

Promise Fund

This fund benefits residents in every FellowshipLIFE community who through no fault of their own, find themselves in financial hardship.

Life Enrichment Fund

To ensure that FellowshipLIFE residents can live their life to the fullest, this fund supports programs, services and facilities that would otherwise not be possible. Your gift can be designated to programs or to our capital improvements.

  • Capital Improvements
  • Naming Opportunities Throughout Each Community
  • Memorial/Honoring/Tribute Donations

Health & Medical Fund

This fund ensures that residents, clients or patients, both on and off our campuses, continue to receive the best care possible in the best environment. Your support allows FellowshipLIFE to update our communities’ supported living residences into custom-designed, state-of-the-art homes providing expanded services for all health needs in a homelike environment. In addition, we provide care and services to older adults throughout New Jersey residing in their private homes. Donations can be designated to a variety of programs:

  • Home Care and Hospice
  • Supported living services
  • Medical devices and equipment
  • Naming opportunity

Team Member Fund

Donations to this fund support compassionate and hardworking FellowshipLIFE team members who experience personal hardship and need support. This fund also benefits team members who wish to advance their training, obtain additional education, or achieve professional goals.
We invite you to support the FellowshipLIFE Foundation by donating today.

If you have an area of interest that doesn’t currently have a supporting program, the Foundation is committed to working with you to help make your vision become a reality.
