Bayview Manor Foundation Newsletter

December 2025

The Foundation raises funds to support those residents of Bayview who, through no fault of their own, are without financial resources to continue to live at Bayview.

The Season to Give Thanks

Meet Bayview resident Dorothy Elvins, who generously supported our Annual Savoy Gala in September. Dorothy grew up in Puyallup, Washington, and earned her Accounting degree from Bellevue Community College. With a long and successful career in the investment world, Dorothy’s passion for finance runs in the family as her son has followed in her footsteps, building his own career in investments.

For her contribution to the Foundation, Dorothy chose to make a stock transfer, demonstrating a thoughtful approach to giving. When asked why she donates, Dorothy shared:
"I've been very fortunate in my investments, and I want to share my funds with the Bayview community and a great cause. I believe Bayview is a great organization, and I am happy to give back."

We are incredibly grateful for Dorothy’s generosity and her commitment to supporting the Bayview community. To learn more about the stock transfer process, contact Bayview Manor Foundation.

In this season of giving, we want to remind you that there is still time to make a qualified charitable donation to Bayview Manor Foundation for the benefit of your 2025 taxes. If you have an IRA account, a donor advised fund, or even appreciated stock, you can make a qualified distribution to Bayview Manor Foundation and receive full tax advantages. As you consider your year-end giving and changes to tax benefits in 2026, we hope you will think about the Foundation and the lasting impact your contributions have.

The Foundation is currently providing support to 6 residents whose average age is 90. The average amount of time they’ve lived at Bayview is 14 years. Our projections estimate that we will spend over $450,000 on subsidy by the end of 2025. We continue to hold our annual Savoy Gala fundraiser and our Spring Appeal fundraiser. We look forward to what's to come in 2026!

Thanks so much for reading our Foundation newsletter! Through this newsletter, we hope to share our successes, recent happenings, stories, upcoming events, and educational information with our donors, families, and friends. As always, we appreciate your support.

Warmly,

Liz Anderson, Foundation Development Manager
