Why Give?

There are over 35 million reasons to give to Ecumen – and every day, there are 10,000 more.

As the “age wave” hits the United States, our population will increase exponentially.

When you give to Ecumen, you are not only giving to a better future for the people you love, you are creating a better aging experience for yourself. 

So, how can you get involved in changing aging with Ecumen?

GIVE

You can change aging TODAY through a gift to Ecumen. Whether you are interested in supporting one of our initiatives, like Awakenings, or making a gift to support your local Ecumen community, your donation will go to support the innovative work that is happening everyday at Ecumen. In a system that traditionally serves those of us over 50 with a model created in the 1960s, Ecumen is challenging and then changing that model with help.

You can make a gift in several ways:

• Online
• Cash/ check through mail: Ecumen ATTN: Fund Development 3530 Lexington Ave. N. Shoreview, MN 55126
• Gift-in-kind
• Stock
• Legacy gift

Innovate Empower Honor Society: The IEH Society recognizes annual donors who have made gifts of $1,000 or more in the fiscal year.

Heritage Circle:  Heritage Circles members are donors who have chosen to leave their legacy by making a gift through their estate or other planned giving option.

Members of both of these giving groups are recognized on our Change Wave wall at our Home Office in Shoreview, Minn. If you want more information on giving options, including leaving a legacy gift, please contact Stacey Minnick at 651-766-4338 or at staceyminnick@ecumen.org.

Ecumen is a 501(c)3 non-profit, so all of your gifts are fully tax-deductible.
