Philanthropy

A Culture of Philanthropy

Rooted in the generosity of donors since 1933, King-Bruwaert House has grown into the exceptional community it is today.

Founded through a charitable gift as a not-for-profit organization, K-B continues to rely on philanthropy to bridge the gap between what our operating budget must prioritize—providing exceptional resident care, enriching resident programming, supporting dedicated staff, and maintaining our buildings and grounds—and the enhancements that elevate life at K-B.

Charitable gifts make it possible to preserve and enrich the character of our campus through projects our operating budget cannot fully support, from restoring the Great Lounge with the historic sensitivity it deserves to repaving and beautifying our walking paths. Philanthropic support also provides the flexibility to address emerging needs and invest in the future, ensuring that K-B remains an extraordinary place to call home for generations to come.

Please take pride in knowing your contributions enable a bright future for K-B and help us preserve our heritage. There are many ways for you to give, including:

  • Make an unrestricted gift
  • Honor someone through a memorial or tribute gift
  • Recommend a grant from a donor-advised fund
  • Make a qualified charitable distribution from an IRA
  • Give appreciated securities, such as stock
  • Include K-B in an estate plan

 

King-Bruwaert Legacy Society

The K-B Legacy Society was created to recognize those very special friends and supporters of K-B House who, following the model of our Founder, have notified us that we are included in their estate plans through some means. To become a member, please contact our Development Office for a non-binding commitment form that allows you to declare your intentions without being legally binding, so we can recognize your gift now or help you plan how it will be used as part of your personal legacy. Your example and the use of your name can inspire others to follow your path.

Legacy & Leaders Dinner

Annually, King-Bruwaert House hosts the Legacy & Leaders Dinner, an elegant, invitation-only evening honoring members of the Legacy Society and donors who have made a singular or cumulative gift of at least $5,000 during the prior year. The event celebrates those whose generosity carries forward the tradition of philanthropy upon which K-B was founded, with a program including special recognitions.
