Our History . . .

“Philanthropy is the rent we pay for the joy and privilege we have for our space on this earth.”                                                           - Jerold Panas

Eskaton Foundation formerly known as the Eskaton Associates began in 1989 in a very modest way for the sole purpose of providing community awareness. During the next four years, a small yet determined group of volunteers dedicated their time and expertise to bringing senior issues to the forefront.

In 1993, Eskaton Associates changed its name to Eskaton Foundation. With a new focus and a philanthropic spirit, the Board of Directors of Eskaton Foundation began to raise money to support Eskaton’s critical community service programs.

Today, we applaud the foresight of our founders as we move Eskaton Foundation into a new era of philanthropy - one that makes the philanthropic wishes of our donors come true and helps them realize a way to leave a legacy and change the lives of seniors for years to come. We also honor and celebrate the generosity of the donors past who made it possible for us to enhance the quality of life for thousands of seniors over the years.
