Our History

The Lifespace Foundation was established in 1992 and serves as the charitable arm of Lifespace Communities, Inc. Through the years, the Foundation has evolved into the multi-dimensional organization that it is today, fulfilling our mission to support the health and welfare of our residents through philanthropy.

It was once believed that a senior living community should be the next best thing to being home. Now, we believe it must be more than the next best: It must really be HOME. When a resident joins a Lifespace community, they move into a new home in a new “neighborhood.” Their floor plans may change and the lawn may not need their personal attention, but the feeling is still the same of being part of a community and wanting to be a good neighbor.

For more than three decades, The Lifespace Foundation has been providing tax-deductible charitable opportunities for residents, team members, family, and friends who are inspired to enhance the lives of those in our communities and to be a part of “neighbors helping neighbors” and “friends helping friends.”

Why Support The Lifespace Foundation?

“Having committed to this community, I have gotten a growing sense that this is ‘home.’ There are causes that I care so much about that I want to continue to provide support for even beyond my lifetime. The Lifespace Foundation allows me to do that.”

– Sara Robertson, Beacon Hill resident
