The Educational Grant is awarded to employees and their children for
post high school training and education. The grant is currently set
at $2,250/year for 2 year colleges and training programs and
$4,000/year for 4 year colleges and universities. The Living Legacy
Foundation does not consider academic achievement when deciding to
make an award. The only requirements are that the student is either
an employee or the child of an employee (the employee must have been
employed full or part time for at least nine months) and that the
student has been accepted for a place at a college of university.
As well as directly benefiting the recipients, the Educational Grant
program benefits residents by aiding recruitment of new employees,
retaining existing employees and creating a more caring and personal
relationship between our employees and our residents.
The Educational Grant is also awarded to employees studying for a
Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) certificate at an institution
approved by the Director of the SRC Health Care Center. The grant is
currently set at $800.
We believe that education is the key to upward mobility in this
country and can think of no more worthy cause for your
tax-deductible donation.
The Financial Aid to Needy Residents Program
The SRC Living Legacy Foundation offers financial aid to residents
in need.
Every resident has the right guaranteed by California law to manage
their own finances and pay their bills in the order they choose. If,
after paying their non Saratoga Retirement Community (SRC) bills,
they cannot pay their monthly SRC bills, they are entitled to a
subsidy from SRC up to and including the entire bill. This subsidy
is not charity but a benefit included with the residency at a
501(c)(3) retirement home.
Once a resident is receiving the full subsidy from SRC, the resident
can apply directly to the Living Legacy Foundation for aid that can
be used for any necessary expense at resident's discretion. The LLF
holds funds that have been donated for this particular purpose.
Donors are free to donate specifically for this purpose and can
indicate this on the donation slips.
