Stage Cares is how Golden Pond turns community generosity into practical help for people facing real need, both close to home and through long-standing mission partnerships.
Mission
After the strain of the pandemic, our teams saw isolation, financial stress, and sudden hardship affecting residents, families, and staff. We created Stage Cares to help.
We work with Rev. Dr. Hugo Venegas, international mission partners, and Helping Hands to direct support to the projects below.

How Participation Works
Ownership matches community donations up to $10,000 annually for each community, and team members can participate through micro-donations that add up over time. The goal is simple: make it easy to join, easy to explain, and easy to see the impact once funds are deployed.
