“When I moved to Aldersgate, I had plenty of money to continue to pay my way throughout my life. However, my husband was diagnosed with a catastrophic illness that took a toll on our finances. He has since passed, and I was left with very few funds. I am so thankful that I chose Aldersgate. Aldersgate Resident Assistance Fund was my safety net.”
—Aldersgate resident and Resident Assistance Fund recipient
“I give to the Aldersgate Resident Assistance Fund because my philosophy is ‘There but for the grace of God go I,’ which to me means, do unto others as you would have done unto you. My Aldersgate neighbors are my family, and I love the idea of giving what I can to support this fund.”

Funding targeted at the greatest, most urgent needs at Givens Aldersgate.
The Horizon Fund gives us maximum adaptability in addressing the most urgent needs of our residents, campus and team. By giving to the Horizon Fund, your gift directly ensures the ongoing development of our community by further putting our mission into action.
The Horizon Fund provides financial support for a wide range of projects that improve the quality of life for our residents. These can include new wellness or life enrichment programs, special campus wide events, beautification projects or support for new or existing amenities.
For example, the Horizon Fund had been vital in helping us manage the many unforeseen issues brought about by recent events. It was used in part to stock our Givens Aldersgate Food Pantry to address food insecurity for team member families hardest hit by the pandemic.
It also helped us create the Learning Support Pod, ensuring that Givens Aldersgate team members wouldn’t have to choose between childcare and online schooling or their jobs. This helped us retain experienced team members and avoid workforce shortages, which could have impacted our residents or quality of service.
Givens Aldersgate is thoughtfully growing and always seeking to improve the lives of the elders we serve. The Horizon Fund assists us in that mission by looking ahead to what is next while giving us greater peace of mind for whatever surprises the future holds.
Legacy gifts help sustain and strengthen Givens Aldersgate’s ability to serve our community today and for generations to come.
