The Todd Baird Lindsey Devlin Foundation was established in 1997, following the sale of the Sarah Todd Home. The assets resulting from the sale were combined with the Sarah A. Todd Trust Fund, the Lydia Baird Endowment, the Margaret M. Lindsey Fund and several other small endowments. The Foundation provides a new simplified vehicle to fulfill the original intent of Sarah A. Todd and Lydia Baird – to support the needs of senior citizens in our community.

The primary goal of the Todd Baird Lindsey Devlin Foundation is to help elderly individuals remain in independent living situations for as long as practical. The foundation recognizes that each person has a unique set of emotional and physical conditions and individual preferences. As a result, the Foundation offers direct financial support or other indirect forms of assistance in an effort to respond to each individual’s medical, nutritional, housing, social and psychological needs.
