Home Instead Senior Care has always looked for ways to benefit others. They established the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation in 2003 to provide financial assistance to non-profit organizations specializing in projects and programming that improve the quality of life for seniors. As of 2009, The Home Instead Senior Care Foundation had awarded 81 grants totaling more than $800,000.

The Home Instead Senior Care Disaster Relief Foundation’s (DRF) was founded in 2005 and it’s primary purpose was to provide disaster relief payments to Home Instead Senior Care franchise owners that are victims of overwhelming disasters that devastate the community in which they are located. Through 2009, it has awarded eight grants totaling $78,000.

Recently, the DRF Board of Directors adopted a resolution to allow for distributions to tax-exempt organizations responding to devastating disasters such as the Haitian earthquake. The Haitian Earthquake Relief fund has been established by the DRF as a collaborative effort of Home Instead Senior Care franchise owners, staff members and Home Office personnel who wish to donate to this philanthropic opportunity. So far they have collected a total $9,135.00 to be distributed as follows:
