The Chartwell Foundation builds on a five-year partnership between Chartwell Retirement Residences and the former charity Wish of A Lifetime Canada that granted the wishes of Canadian seniors from 2015-2020.
When Wish of a Lifetime ceased its Canadian operations, Chartwell knew this meaningful mission must continue. In 2020, The Chartwell Foundation was established as a national charity to carry on helping seniors continue to live a life of purpose, connectedness, and engagement through wish granting.
Our Mission
The Chartwell Foundation is on a mission to grant the wishes of Canadian seniors and to contribute to meaningful charities with a shared purpose of making people’s lives better.
