Together We Can Help Older Adults Age with Dignity
Every older adult deserves purpose, compassion, friendship, and quality care, regardless of their financial circumstances. The CHA Foundation is a nonprofit founded in honor of Cha and dedicated to enriching the lives of older adults and the families who love them. Right now, that means raising the funds to open The CHA Center, and building the caregiver support and community health education programs that will carry Cha's spirit further.
Why We Exist
Growing older should never mean growing lonely.
Thousands of families struggle every day to care for aging parents and loved ones while balancing careers, children, and life's many responsibilities. The CHA Foundation was created to bridge that gap. We work alongside The CHA Center to provide resources that improve quality of life while helping families keep their loved ones safely at home, instead of entering institutional care prematurely.
Right Now
Where We Are Today
We're building this from the ground up, and we'd rather show you exactly where things stand than promise more than we can back up. As real families are served and real dollars are raised, this page will grow into a full annual impact dashboard.
