Why People Give
Contributions to the Endowment Fund enable us to serve residents who do not have the resources to fully pay for their care.

Philanthropy
The act of philanthropy is a spiritual act... an act of love expressed for one’s fellow man. “Philanthropy” comes from two Greek words, the “love” of “man”. Valley View Haven’s Endowment Fund was founded on this precept of love for fellow man.

In 2009, we made $1,014,270 of allowances for individuals, who could not fully afford the cost of their care, including:

   • Over 20% of the Assisted Living residents
     at Valley View Terrace.
   • Over 60% of the Nursing Home residents
     at Valley View Haven.
   • Over 80% of the Nursing Home residents
     at Malta Home.

Investing in Others
An endowment fund is a gift that “keeps on giving”. The endowment fund is the caretaker that will outlast the donor.

Endowment fund earnings are used for resident care, while the fund’s principal remains intact.

Planning for the Future
There are challenges on the horizon as we look into the future. The current endowment balance is nearly four million dollars. By 2014, Valley View Haven would like to increase the endowment fund to five million dollars. The income from this amount would go a long way to provide income to serve individuals who cannot afford to fully pay for their care.
