The Thompson Foundation is dedicated to advancing education, professional development, and compassionate care in the field of senior living. Through scholarships, research funding, and strategic partnerships, we strive to elevate the standards of geriatric health and wellness, fostering lifelong learning, intergenerational relationships, and advocacy for those who care for our aging population. With a steadfast commitment to innovation and integrity, we aim to empower the next generation of healthcare professionals, ensuring dignity, respect, and quality of life for all seniors.
At the heart of our mission is the legacy of Richard Ray Thompson Jr, a visionary entrepreneur, mentor, and leader whose passion for education, business, and human connection shaped countless lives. His belief in lifelong education extended beyond the classroom—he taught by example, instilling resilience, integrity, and the courage to take risks in those he mentored.
Richard was more than a businessman; he was a devoted husband, father, and friend who valued relationships above all else. His unwavering dedication to quality care in senior living was matched only by his belief that education is the key to meaningful change.
The Thompson Foundation stands as a tribute to Richard’s extraordinary life—a life spent investing in people, believing in their potential, and leaving the world better than he found it. Through our work, his spirit lives on, inspiring future generations to lead with knowledge, kindness, and purpose.
The Thompson Foundation supports education, leadership, and innovation in senior care. Your gift funds scholarships, mentorships, and programs that empower future caregivers while honoring Richard Thompson’s legacy. Together, we create a future where seniors receive the dignity, respect, and quality care they deserve.
