L.E. Phillips Senior Center Endowment Fund

The L.E. Phillips Senior Center in Eau Claire provides a place for seniors 50 years and up to age well and live well. They work every day to help their members, who reside in the City or County of Eau Claire, maintain independence, receive services, and develop skills which enhance the emotional, physical, and social quality of their lives.

National, state and local predictive demographic data make it clear that society is aging. Updated US census statistics state that by 2034, there will be more “seniors” than children 18 and younger in America. That has never happened in our nation’s history, and communities everywhere, including Eau Claire, will be looking for ways to effectively and efficiently engage with the growing number of aging adults. The L.E. Phillips Senior Center has been and will continue to be a valuable community asset that provides significant benefit to older adults and their families.

Established by a generous legacy gift from an anonymous donor, this Fund provides financial support and assistance to the Senior Center for future growth. As an Endowment Fund, it can accept donations directly from the public. These gifts will help ensure that Eau Claire’s senior population will always have a place to learn, socialize, and get the most out of life.
