About Us
The Wiesner Memorial Senior Fund was founded in 1982 by Fran Wiesner in honor of her late husband, Hal Wiesner. She used her monthly social security benefits to provide financial grants to older adults who needed assistance. Today, the Wiesner Fund is sustained through donations from the Wiesner family, local service organizations, individuals, fundraisers, and income from investments.
An all-volunteer, seven-member Board of Directors governs the Wiesner Fund. The board’s volunteer status allows for minimal expenses, ensuring that the Wiesner Fund’s resources are directed to those in need.
The Wiesner Memorial Senior Fund is a California registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the Tri-Valley Area. Donations made to the Wiesner Fund are fully tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Your support will be entirely directed towards providing financial assistance to older adults in the Tri-Valley community.
Board Members:

What We Do
The Wiesner Fund provides emergency financial grants to adults aged 60 or older to help pay for expenses such as rent, medical or dental bills, auto repairs, car registration, utility bills, and other eligible expenses. To allow the Wiesner Fund to reach and support as many older adults as possible, grants awarded are typically limited to $350-$500.00. However, larger amounts will be considered based on individual circumstances and needs.
