Your Donation Matters!
Please donate and support the work that we do in the community to continue providing services at low-cost or no-cost to individuals caring for and receiving care.
We always provide the opportunity to clients to donate on a voluntary contribution, but especially for the 50.7% of our clients who fall under 200% of the Federal Poverty Line, we would greatly appreciate your support. For those who cannot contribute financially to support our programming, we need the support of the community to continue improving the lives of seniors and their caregivers. Living on a fixed income makes the burden of paying for services heavy on seniors of all incomes, as the costs of living increase and their income remains the same.
We support those who typically fall through the cracks and go without the necessary supports they need to live safely-but only because your contributions make it possible to create a better reality for these seniors and caregivers. Your support helps these people to live thriving, rewarding lives! Please choose to help us continue to change lives and keep our community a great place to live, work, and play.
Thank you for supporting the mission of Elder Network!
Elder Network is a 501(c)(3) organization. Our Federal Tax ID number is 41-1704390.

Local Giving Opportunities
- Elder Network Partners with Wabasha Kellogg Area Community Foundation
- This opportunity to support the community began on May 10th, 2022 and ran through July 31st, 2022. Similar dates are expected in 2023. This fundraising event is an annual, summer-long chance to help support nonprofit agencies in the Wabasha-Kellogg area. The priviledge to inspire and support others provides these agencies with continued, sustainable support. WKACF ensures that 100% of your contributions go directly to the agency of your choice.
- From lost revenues, staff shortages, and increased demand for services beyond what agencies are able to provide, this fundraising opportunity allows community members to give from home to empower agencies, such as Elder Network, to continue serving seniors and their caregivers in their home. At this hectic time in our country, it is important that we provide for our friends and neighbors who are struggling.
- You can make a donation of any amount towards Elder Network’s services and programs to provide encouraging relief for caregivers and care receivers. You can contribute several different ways:
- Donate online on the Wabasha Kellogg Area Community Foundation website, specifying in the special instructions that you would like your funds to be allocated to Elder Network through the 2023 Give Local opportunity.
- Fill out this form and either drop it off at a local Wabasha Kellogg area bank’s drop box, or mail it to WKACF, PO BOX 268, Wabasha, MN 55981.
