The annual Home Instead Charitie's Give65 giving event closed with record-breaking support for aging adults and the charitable organizations they rely on.
The aging adult population is the fastest growing population, yet charitable dollars are not keeping pace with this exponential growth.
Home Instead Charities is committed to raising funds and awareness for these critical organizations and the difference their programs and services are making for aging adults.
As part of this commitment, Home Instead Charities holds an annual online fundraising event exclusively for charitable organizations serving aging adults. This year’s event raised more than $720,000 for the 160 Give65 partnering organizations. Combined with financial incentives provided by Home Instead Charities that inspire people to give, over $1 million will be distributed to help older adults in North America age with dignity and independence.
These funds will be used for meals, transportation, social activities, benefits assistance, safe housing, hospice care, Alzheimer’s support and so much more. Through these programs and services offered by Give65 organizations, aging adults are owning their aging journey and aging on their own terms.
With the assistance of nearly 70 Home Instead franchise offices, not only did the Give65 Events collectively raise more funds than previous years, but more donations were also made in support of the Give65 organizations than ever before.
If you weren’t able to give, Home Instead Charities encourages you to save the date for our end-of-year fundraising event on November 30, 2021. On #GivingTuesday, Home Instead Charities hosts a 24-hour giving event for our partnering organizations and will again provide matching grants to encourage people to give on a greater level.
Visit Give65.org (U.S.) and Give65.ca (Canada) on November 30. With the minimum donation amount set at $10, it provides an opportunity for even more people to be a philanthropist.
We are grateful for your support and belief in our mission to improve the quality of life for underserved aging adults. By working together, we can create a world where the basic needs of every aging adult are met.
