Frequently people whose lives have been touched by the care and services given at Congregational Home have asked how they can make a gift to the Home. Below we have listed several options to satisfy that purpose.
Gifts in Tribute
Donations can be made to Congregational Home in memory of a family member or friend who has passed away, or in honor of a person for a special event such as a birthday or Mother’s Day. We acknowledge each gift with a card sent to the person or next of kin for whom the donation is made.
Capital Improvement and Development Fund
Growing out of a heritage of faith, the Congregational Home Capital Improvement and Development Fund as a part of the Pilgrim Heritage Foundation builds on a philosophy of autonomy. Its purpose is to secure for the future and endowment which will allow contributions and interest to be used to enhance Congregational Home as a caring community for older persons in our society through housing health care and supportive services.
Resident Enrichment Program
- Ream Fund

This fund was initiated and has grown through two challenge gifts from a First Congregational Church member. Income from the fund is available to provide financial assistance for residents of the Home who are members of First Congregational Church who have outlived their financial resources.

The use of the Chapel Fund will be to provide music for the chapel services, to provide flowers, if needed, and to provide for opportunities which will enhance the religious life of Congregational Home.
