The Good Samaritan Foundation
Give neighbors, loved ones and friends a place to call home and live fully — no matter what life’s journey holds.
Let's transform the aging experience
Since our founding more than 100 years ago, our work has been fueled by philanthropy. Here, 100% of every dollar given through the Good Samaritan Foundation supports enhancements to care, meaningful programming, facility updates and more — ensuring those we serve can find health, joy and belonging.
Giving makes a meaningful difference for patients and residents who count on Good Samaritan, no matter the location. Please consider giving a gift today!
