FOREFRONT LIVING FOUNDATION FOCUS AREAS
Advancing the Mission Through Philanthropy.
Forefront Living Foundation focuses on key areas that guide how philanthropic support strengthens the Forefront Living community. These focus areas help align donor generosity with the programs and initiatives that enhance the lives of those we serve. Through these priorities, philanthropy supports compassionate care for seniors, meaningful opportunities for teammates and programs that bring comfort, connection and hope to residents, families and children navigating grief. Together, these focus areas create a framework that makes the extraordinary possible.
Benevolent Care
Benevolent care reflects Forefront Living’s commitment to support residents who have outlived their financial resources through no fault of their own. Philanthropic support helps provide continued housing, services and care so residents may remain in the community they call home. Through donor generosity, residents remain in a familiar and supportive environment while maintaining dignity, stability and peace of mind.
Integrated Therapies
Integrated therapies nurture the whole person by supporting emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. Philanthropy helps make these services available across the Forefront Living community. Programs may include music therapy, massage therapy and spiritual care that bring comfort and connection to residents.
Child and Family Bereavement
Forefront Living Foundation provides compassionate bereavement support for children, teens and families navigating the loss of a loved one. Through one-on-one visits, peer support groups and grief camps, individuals find community during seasons of grief. Philanthropic support helps expand access to these important programs and strengthens the support available to families.
Spiritual Care
Philanthropy enhances daily life within Forefront Living communities through programs and experiences that foster connection, creativity and purpose. Because each community has unique needs, the programs funded by the Forefront Living Foundation varies by location. Philanthropic support helps provide services such as spiritual care, along with special events, wellness initiatives, and innovative programming across our family of communities.
Life Enrichment
Thanks in part to funding provided by the Forefront Living Foundation, residents at our communities enjoy all sorts of interesting and engaging programming. From supporting music programs to bringing in guest speakers and lecturers to funding transportation for off-site excursions to explore the plentiful entertainment, education, and arts destinations near our campuses, residents can always look forward to new and ever-changing scheduling that challenges their minds, engages their souls, and brightens their lives for the long run.
Teammate Education, Development and Assistance
Extraordinary care begins with extraordinary teammates. Through scholarships, certifications and professional development opportunities, Forefront Living Foundation invests in the people who serve residents and families each day. These opportunities help teammates grow their skills, advance their careers and continue providing exceptional care across the Forefront Living family.
Community Support
The Forefront Living Foundation extends its mission beyond the Forefront Living communities by offering programs that support older adults and families throughout the community. Initiatives such as the Thrive 10-Day Stay program located at Presbyterian Village North provide engagement for seniors and individuals with neurodegenerative conditions while offering meaningful relief for caregivers. Soon we will also introduce a new Adult Day Stay program at PVN designed to serve seniors throughout the region. Philanthropic support helps expand these services and strengthen support for families across the DFW community.
