Join the Eskaton Foundation in giving through our Big Day of Giving campaign.

Did you know only 2% of charitable giving supports seniors?

Getting older shouldn’t mean being overlooked.
We need your help to amplify the voices of older adults who are too often forgotten. The Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour giving challenge that brings the region together to support the nonprofits that serve our community.

 

Across the nation, only 2% of charitable giving supports seniors, despite the growing needs of an aging population. And right here at Eskaton, 50% of the older adults we serve live below the poverty line, making our mission not just important, but essential.

Four images side by side show seniors painting, laughing together, celebrating with staff under “Big Day” decorations, and an older man helping a child with homework at an outdoor table.

By donating to the Eskaton Foundation, you help fund vital programs that create stability, connection, and dignity for older adults in our communities, including:

  • Affordable Housing Safety Net Grant
    Provides short‑term, in‑home support and supplemental care hours in our affordable housing communities—helping at‑risk older adults remain safe, independent, and housed during times of temporary hardship.
  • Intergenerational Grant
    Fosters meaningful relationships between residents and local students through shared experiences that spark joy, learning, and a sense of belonging across generations.
  • Resident Assistance Grant
    Ensures those who have outlived their financial resources through no fault of their own can remain in the homes and communities they love, without being displaced by unexpected financial challenges.

We hope you’ll join us at one of our upcoming community fundraising events. Each Eskaton community will host a fun, creative event for Big Day of Giving, inviting residents, families, and friends to come together in support of creating meaningful moments for older adults.

Your Generosity creates moments that matter.

Give. Share. Join us in creating a future where no one ages alone.

Day of Volunteerism

Clean-Up And Cook-Out

May 2 at 12 p.m.

Roll up your sleeves and make a difference! Join us for a spring-cleaning volunteer day on May 2 at Eskaton Jefferson Manor, an affordable housing community in Sacramento. We’re refreshing shared spaces and need help with cleaning, organizing, lifting, and hauling out trash. Once the project is done, stick around for a celebratory BBQ hosted by West Coast Fire and Water — a delicious way to wrap up the day alongside fellow volunteers and community members.
