The Clark Foundation History
In 1906, Melvin and Emily Clark donated their home to the Michigan Conference of the Methodist Church for use by retired ministers, their spouses, and other "worthy" individuals who needed assistance during their senior years. At that time, there were no retirement communities or skilled nursing facilities. Medicare and Social Security were decades away. The Clark's revolutionary act of kindness has evolved into a living legacy.
Today, Clark is home to hundreds of residents who live on two campuses and enjoy award winning programming. Established in 1995 as a 501c3 entity, The Clark Foundation is an integral component of our community. Through its efforts, resources are available to support capital projects, programs and our residents.
