Development Digest

The Development Department has been hard at work during the COVID-19 pandemic, finding creative ways to keep our supporters and friends informed and engaged with life at Monte Vista Grove. Although this unprecedented time has presented obstacles, we are also finding new opportunities and so many reasons to be grateful. While we face the financial impact of the pandemic, we have been deeply moved by outstanding generosity and selflessness at a time when many people face their own challenges and uncertainties. We are so blessed by our work, by our supporters, and by the residents and the mission we serve.

Our 2020 Founders Circle Committee members are continuing their fundraising efforts and have reached 80 percent of our goal! We are thankful for the continued generosity of our selfless donors as we strive to continue providing exceptional care to our resident population.
