Each year, Inland Christian Home relies on the Annual Fund Drive to raise much-needed funds for the community, and each year, our generous donors and loyal supporters come through in a big way. Our most recent drive did not disappoint, raising a total of $126,894.
The 2023 Annual Fund Drive, which began in the fall and ran until the beginning of this year, allowed donors to contribute to either the Care Fund, the Foundation Fund, or the Building Fund. Picking a fund is not mandatory as donors can also make an unspecified donation, allowing the community to add the funds to whichever category is most in need.
While each category received generous donations from the 2023 Annual Fund Drive, the Care Fund received the most contributions, which will go a long way in directly helping the people we serve. This fund is used to help supplement the rising costs of health care so our community remains true to one of its core beliefs, that quality care should be available for everyone.
The Care Fund allows those who can no longer afford the full cost of care at Inland Christian Home to apply for assistance to offset the price. Those in need of aid can simply complete an application, and each request is evaluated by the board of directors to determine if financial assistance can be provided. Each application is considered equally based on need, without bias, and residents living at any level of care across the campus are welcome to apply.
This financial support has had a huge impact on residents over the years and continues to do so, allowing members of the community to receive care in a faith-based environment from caring and dedicated staff. It also allows individuals to remain in a community they are familiar with and trust, rather than having to move to somewhere new because they have outlived their retirement savings. This stability, support and familiarity are key factors in making life successful for the residents we serve, thus making donations to the Care Fund critical for the community.
Donations to the Building Fund go toward maintaining the property and special projects designed to bring improvements to the campus that will keep things modern and meet the ever-changing needs of the community. Foundation Fund donations go toward an investment fund that creates revenue for the community.
Foundation Fund donations go toward an investment fund that creates revenue for the community which helps to keep the quality of care high and the cost affordable. Along with the Building Fund and the Care Fund, these donations help to maintain the highest quality of care and allow our residents across the campus to remain as independent as possible.
The 2023 Annual Fund Drive raised valuable funds from a total of 95 donors, many of whom support Inland Christian Home year after year. These generous benefactors are imperative to the community’s success and are a large part of why we are able to do what we do.
Before we know it, it will be time once again for another Annual Fund Drive. Anyone interested in donating to Inland Christian Home doesn’t have to wait until then to make a contribution. Donations are always welcome and can be made in person or online by clicking “Donate” under the “About Us” tab on our website (ichome.org).
