Membership
The Carmel Foundation is a welcoming, membership-based organization for adults 55 years and older, regardless of where you live.
Annual membership begins at $60 per person. While this is the minimum required, members are encouraged to contribute at a level that is meaningful to them. As we do not receive government funding, we rely on the generosity of individuals to continue offering our programs and services.
Any contribution above the $60 minimum directly supports the Foundation’s wide range of activities and resources for older adults in our community. Membership contributions may be tax-deductible.
For Questions or Additional Information: (831) 624-1588.
“I lost my spouse, I lost my rhythm—and I found both again here. I take art classes, meet friends in the café, and feel like I belong. The Carmel Foundation gave me life back.”
