Your gift will create spaces of dignity, joy, and connection for older adults—today and for generations to come.
About The Campaign
For over 80 years, Heritage Community of Kalamazoo has been more than a place to live—it’s been a place to belong. The Thrive Together Campaign builds on that legacy, transforming our campus into a place where every older adult can live fully, age gracefully, and thrive with purpose.
With $6 million already committed by Heritage, your support in raising the final $3 million will complete the $9 million needed to bring this campaign to life. Behind every great movement are the people who make it possible. Our campaign co-chairs and cabinet have stepped forward with extraordinary dedication, leading the Thrive Together Campaign and rallying our community to reach this $9 million vision for the future of Heritage.
