Donations and Support
How you can support Tockwotton on the Waterfront
Throughout the history of our community, the generous support of our friends has been foundational in empowering us to achieve our charitable mission to provide a quality home and quality services to older adults, including those with limited means. For nearly a century, our community depended entirely on charitable donations and volunteers. With the advent of Medicare and Medicaid, new funding sources came online but did not supplant the need for private support. Today, with the cost of care rising and government reimbursements decreasing, we are continually challenged to deliver on our promise of exemplary care.
Simply put, we need your support to continue our mission. Carry on the tradition established by benefactors of generations past by donating today.

Eliza’s Legacy Society
We created Eliza’s Legacy Society as a means to honor and thank donors for their gifts that will make a difference now or in years to come. Membership is reserved for those who have contributed at least $5,000 in cash, stock or planned gifts such as bequests.
As a member, you will be permanently recognized as a leading contributor and invited to exclusive member appreciation gatherings.
We encourage you to become a member of Eliza’s Legacy Society. Just as our early benefactors encouraged others to give, your enrollment will inspire other new members in the years ahead.
Ways to designate your support
Annual Appeal
You can designate your gift to support the Eliza B. Rogers, Resident Activity, or Wishing Jar Programs, or the area of greatest need. Every gift adds up and it’s all made possible by you.
Donate to Tockwotton’s Annual Fund, and your gift will pay for staff training, equipment purchases, building repairs, employee tuition reimbursement, and so much more.
Matching Gifts
If your employer offers a matching gift program, this is a fantastic way to make your gift go further. Some companies even provide matching gifts for volunteer hours. Please check with your employer’s Human Resources department for specific information or to request a Matching Gifts Form.
Tribute Gifts
Remember or honor a loved one while helping others. At Tockwotton on the Waterfront, the honor and memorial gifts we receive help us continue providing high quality, state of the art health and housing services to elders in the Southern New England community.
A memorial donation is a wonderful way to remember and celebrate the life of a loved one, while making a gift in honor of someone is a great way to note their birthday, a special occasion or to simply say thank you.
After you’ve made a contribution to Tockwotton on the Waterfront in memory or in honor, an acknowledgement letter will be sent to the family member or honoree and a tax receipt will be sent to you. We do not specify the amount of the donation, and very much appreciate any amount
you choose to contribute.
