Unrestricted Support
Unrestricted support means providing funds that can be used NOW to make a difference DAILY in the lives of senior adults. Unrestricted support allows us to continually strive for excellence in all levels of care. This type of support provides for licensed care levels that are staffed 24 hours a day. It provides the 13.5 acres of beautiful landscaping all done by our own crew. It enables our dining service program to serve three meals a day to all four levels of care, as well as staff and visitors. It also makes the little things possible like replacing vacuum bags, watering the gardens, ordering fresh vegetables, a new puzzle in The Commons, laundry detergent, light bulbs, and a fresh coat of paint when needed. Unrestricted support provides for the essentials, not just the niceties. It is the essentials that support dignity as individuals age.
Unrestricted gifts support our basic, daily needs. It’s not as exciting as a new building or a big event, but without meeting basic, daily needs, there would be no buildings or events. Giving to this fund is trusting us to make the best use of your money; to steward it where it will make the biggest impact in the everyday lives of those we serve.
Annual Fund
This fund welcomes unrestricted gifts of any amount below $1,500.00 (above this amount, please refer to Founders Circle), that support our annual budget. This is our lifeblood, enabling our mission for over 95 years. Please contact lduran@mvgh.org if you are interested in scheduling an automatically recurring gift (monthly, annually, or other)

Resident Financial Support
Monte Vista Grove Homes continually strives to “bridge the gap” between what residents are able to pay and what it actually costs for the level of care provided. As many of our residents made financial sacrifices to serve the church, some struggle today with having adequate retirement reserves, and require our support. We aim to respond to the financial needs of residents who might not otherwise be able to afford the facilities and care that we provide.
Furthermore, as lifespans increase and medical costs rise, more and more senior adults face depleted retirement savings. Even those who carefully plan and responsibly invest can find themselves in financial peril when suffering a long illness. Sometimes, illness leaves one spouse alone, grieving for their loved one while balancing financial stress. Here, it is our turn to serve those who have spent their lives in service.
Our ability to respond to these needs requires financial support from our generous supporters. This includes subsidizing individual campus residents, Hearth (assisted living), Ranch House (memory care), and Stewart Cottage residents. Your support enables us to help these deserving servants of the church who gave so much throughout their lifetime.
RESIDENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
This fund provides direct, immediate support to real people with real need – now. Gifts to this fund are used within the calendar year they are received.
QUALITY OF LIFE ENDOWMENT
Gifts to our endowment compound the principle investment, generating interest for years to come. This is a gift that keeps giving.
