Investing in Important Work
Giving & Stewardship
Invest in our Residents
All of our earned and donated income is reinvested into Roland Park Place
to better serve those who live here.
Investing in What Matters
Our Not-For-Profit Mission
Why does Roland Park Place need gifts and bequests? We have three sources of income: resident fees, investment earnings, and charitable gifts. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Life Plan community, we reinvest all earned income and donations back into our community to better serve those who live here.
The growth of our community is only made possible through long-standing traditions of senior living charitable giving: altruism, generosity, and stewardship in support of our mission of enhancing the lives of residents. Many of the significant projects at Roland Park Place have only been possible through the generous support of donors.
What’s more, no resident has ever been asked to leave Roland Park Place due to an uncontrollable financial inability to pay. This is only made possible through the Resident Assistance Fund, one of the many avenues through which generous donors can make a meaningful impact for our senior living community.
Every gift is important and benefits our residents, today and in the future.
Ways to Support Our Community
Popular Giving Arrangements
Outright Gifts
Gifts given outright are especially helpful to Roland Park Place because they help meet immediate needs. Outright gifts may be made on an annual basis for general operating support, or you may donate to our senior living community over the year as a tribute or in memory of others.
Gifts of Stocks, Bonds, or Other Marketable Securities
Gifts from a will or trust, retirement plan, gifts of stock and appreciated assets. In addition to supporting the mission of Roland Park Place, these types of gifts can often generate tax benefits to the donor.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity can provide you with income for life when you transfer cash or securities to Roland Park Place, and in return, receive fixed payments and a charitable tax deduction for your gift.
Vehicle Donations
Donating your used car, truck, or motorcycle is a great way to help fuel our mission. It’s simple to do, and you may qualify for a tax deduction. We will arrange free pick up and towing. For more information, please call (410) 243-5701.
Targeted Giving
Impact Funds
Employee Scholarship Fund
The Roland Park Place Scholarship Fund enables you to invest directly in people—the associates who are at the heart of our resident care and support. Your gift to the RPP Scholarship Fund helps us recruit the best candidates and retain the valuable talents of our experienced employees. This fund ensures that we have skilled, passionate people providing exemplary care to all who rely on RPP services.
Resident Assistance Fund
Roland Park Place will never ask any Resident to leave due to an uncontrollable financial inability to pay. This is made possible by the Resident Assistance Fund, which provides a ready source of funds to cover the needs of residents who have outlived their resources.
Capital Projects Giving Opportunities
Creating and maintaining our beautiful campus, indoors and out, and offering dynamic programs all present many opportunities for targeted philanthropic investments. On an ongoing basis, we identify priorities that donors can choose to support. Programs and projects of special interest to residents are always considered.
Meaningful, Memorable Messages
Tribute Cards
When there’s a resident or staff member who you’d like to acknowledge—to wish them well, celebrate a birthday or anniversary, say “thank you,” or offer a memorial—a Tribute Card is the perfect way to send a meaningful message. We offer many occasions to choose from.
With a tax-deductible donation to Roland Park Place, we will send the card of your choice to that special person you’d like to recognize. This type of gift is a lovely way to honor, thank, or remember friends and family, while also supporting the important mission of our community.
