Generous gifts allow us to ensure older adults receive compassionate care, invest in innovative programs and environment, and empower the dedicated team members who serve them every day. Together, these commitments create communities where residents, families and caregivers can truly thrive.
Caring for Older Adults. Strengthening Communities. Supporting Caregivers.

Make a Gift Online Today
Giving online is quick, easy and secure. Simply click the Donate Now button above to make a one-time gift or set up a recurring donation. Every dollar you contribute goes directly to supporting the mission of the Baptist Retirement Homes Foundation.
Gifts of Appreciated Stock or Securities
A gift of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares can provide significant tax benefits while making a lasting impact on our communities. Donating appreciated assets allows you to avoid capital gains taxes and make a larger gift than you might be able to with cash alone.
Planned Giving
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
Corporate and Foundation Giving
Businesses and organizations are invited to partner with us through corporate sponsorships or grants. Corporate giving is a powerful way to demonstrate your company’s commitment to the well-being of older adults while gaining visibility and recognition for your philanthropic efforts.
