A tradition of caring for the seniors...
The Danish Home Foundation, which serves as the fundraising arm of The Danish Home, was created in 2013. We are carrying on the founders’ foresight and working to ensure that their traditions continue…the tradition of caring for the seniors of the community.
The fundraising role of The Danish Home Foundation is crucial to the community as it moves forward. Unlike other similar organizations, The Danish Home does not receive any federal or state dollars. Consequently, we are more dependent on the Foundation’s success.
Funds raised through the work of The Danish Home Foundation will be used for two primary purposes. First, the money will be directed to provide charitable care for those residents who have exhausted their own financial resources. This is a very important legacy that was established when The Danish Home was first founded in 1891 and remains a top priority.
Additionally, funds are used for capital improvements at The Danish Home.
