Helping our HeritAge Program

Mission: To assist seniors in need by providing financial support for essential items and services that bridge the gap between what the healthcare system provides and basic needs.

Geographic Scope

• United States (focus on seniors in the U.S.)

Focus Areas

What they fund:

• Hearing aids
• Glasses
• Dentures
• Walkers
• Wheelchairs
• Emergency assistance for seniors affected by natural disasters
• Other essential items to improve senior quality of life

Background

Elevate Charities recognizes that approximately 25 million Americans live on less than $27,000 per year, with seniors disproportionately affected by high healthcare costs. The organization works with healthcare professionals and caregivers to provide seniors with the means to meet their basic needs.

Key Principles

• Financial support benefits seniors directly, not healthcare organizations
• Due to high costs of some requests, Elevate Charities cannot always meet all funding requests in full
• All applications must be completed in full prior to consideration

Eligibility

• Seniors in need of essential items or emergency assistance
• Applications can be submitted by caregivers, healthcare professionals, or on behalf of seniors
