The HANDMAKER Foundation - an opportunity to make a difference

A gift to the Handmaker Foundation makes a tangible difference every single day for many of Tucson’s neediest senior citizens.

Gifts to the Handmaker Foundation allow Handmaker Jewish Services for the Aging to provide a significant amount of charitable care to residents of Handmaker's skilled nursing programs who have outlived their financial resources. In 2008, the shortfall to provide this care totaled about $272,000. The annual support of our donors also helps Handmaker launch and sustain innovative and compassionate programming for its residents.

As a non-profit, non-sectarian institution, Handmaker's mission is to promote the spiritual, emotional and intellectual well-being of the people in our care. We are committed to improving the quality of life by making sure our residents enjoy their independence and dignity as part of a supportive community.

There are many ways to make the Handmaker Foundation part of your annual charitable giving and estate planning.

Opportunities abound to have one's name connected to the proud history of our magnificent facilities. What better way to establish your legacy than by upholding the sacred commandment to honor the elderly, the parents of us all? The Handmaker Foundation offers meaningful and tax-deductible opportunities for giving, and for recognition of a loved one; a parent or grandparent; spouse; or, child. In return, Handmaker Foundation can offer enduring recognition in perpetuity.

To arrange a dedication to honor or memorialize a loved one, please contact Hillel Levy, Handmaker Foundation’s Executive Director at hlevy@handmakerfoundation.org or call 520.322-3632 for more information.

Every dollar contributed helps Handmaker provide programs and services that support the health, individuality and dignity of each and every elder we serve.
