Heritage Community of Kalamazoo Foundation

Heritage Community of Kalamazoo Foundation Heritage Community of Kalamazoo Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established to support the charitable needs of residents.

The Heritage Community of Kalamazoo Foundation is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization established in 2003 to support the charitable needs of Heritage Community of Kalamazoo (HCK) and the Michigan Nursing Home resident who live here. HCK has been raising funds to help support residents and improve the living conditions of older people since the organization was founded in 1945. Back then, it was k

nown as the Senior Citizens Fund. The name has changed but the commitment to providing care for people of all incomes is greater than ever. It was community support which allowed us to build the area’s first senior residences. The Heritage Community of Kalamazoo Foundation benefits the following communities: Wyndham, Heritage Hills Apartments, Directors Hall, Wyndham West, Amber Way, Amber Place, and Harold and Grace Upjohn Community Care Center. The Foundation accepts gift of cash, appreciated stock, securities, as well as planned gifts including bequests and estate gifts. We invite you to explore the various ways you can contribute to HCK online, or contact the HCK Foundation.

Recently, we had the privilege of recognizing Dr. Thomas L. Owen as he concluded six years of dedicated service on the Heritage Community Foundation Board of Directors.

His thoughtful guidance helped strengthen our Foundation during a period of remarkable growth, while his generosity and unwavering commitment continue to advance our mission.

Our Ridge Creek Team got creative this year with their team name for our BBQ & Birdies Golf Outing!

I’d like to introduce you to Team 340-85. Think you can figure out the meaning of the name (explanation will be in the comments)?

Cheers to the businesses and organizations who helped make BBQ & Birdies an unforgettable day at The Moors Golf Course!

Your sponsorship wasn't just an investment in a golf outing, it was an investment in the Memory Care Learning Center at Heritage Community of Kalamazoo helping to provide education, compassion, and hope for those navigating the journey of dementia.

We couldn't do this without you, and we're honored to have you as part of our mission.

Thank you for helping us create brighter days for those we serve.

We appreciate you more than words can express.
