Memorials and Tribute Gifts
Honor Someone Special Through Friendship Haven
A memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to celebrate someone who has touched your life. Whether honoring a loved one’s memory or marking a special occasion, your gift supports Friendship Haven’s mission and carries forward a legacy of care, faith, and community. Each tribute helps us continue serving residents with purpose and compassion, while honoring those who mean the most to you.
Gift Planning
Our Star Society recognizes individuals who have included Friendship Haven in their estate plans through bequests, charitable trusts, gift annuities, or retirement or life insurance designations. Planned giving can achieve personal goals, reduce taxes, and support our mission. Friendship Haven provides an average of $2 million in charitable care annually, with the Care Trust Fund and Good Samaritan Fund ensuring residents' peace of mind while maintaining confidentiality.
Creating a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect the people and causes you care about. Learn more about getting started, available resources, and how your plans can leave a lasting impact here.
