Waterford Senior Services Endowment Fund

Front Cover Header for WebsiteThe Senior Citizens Commission established an Endowment Fund in 2007 through the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut to provide critical program funding for seniors who are struggling financially or at risk of falling into economic insecurity as they age. Funded entirely by donations, the Endowment has provided qualified seniors with the help they need to feel safe and comfortable in their homes as well as, remain active and connected to our community.  

 

The Endowment Fund assists with:

 

  • Home improvement projects and repairs deemed necessary for health and safety reasons
  • Home heating oil or propane 
  • Paying for medications
  • Personal care items or devices
  • Home chore services in extenuating circumstances when there is a threat to health, safety or the threat of an eviction
  • Transportation services to necessary medical appointments that are outside the location range provided by Waterford Senior Services or ECTC
  • Memory-care program Open Doors 

 

Post the COVID-19 outbreak, many seniors have had to make profound adjustments in their personal lives with the economic shock having a strong impact on their finances, physical, and emotional well-being.  The Endowment Fund has become critically important and every donation counts to bring programs that inspire aging safely, remaining engaged, and, whenever possible, independent. Please help us to continue to provide Waterford’s most vulnerable seniors with the services they need. A monetary gift in the amount of your choosing will enhance to the lives of Waterford’s seniors.
