      <Desc>The primary exempt purpose of St. John's Foundation is to generate and provide support, financial and otherwise, that furthers the mission and ministry of our corporate member, St. John's Lutheran Ministries, Inc., a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.St. John's Foundation was established in 1989 in order to bring focus to fund-raising efforts, special campaigns, annual appeals, capital structures, special events and community relations. Those components have proven to be essential in serving to link the needs of the community of St. John's with internal and external resources.(Continued on Schedule O)St. John's needs the financial support of those who share our vision of quality care to all people, regardless of their financial status. Underlying that commitment is our Lord's passion to care and serve those that are most in need. Through the prudent management of gifts, 2017 was a very successful year that allowed the Foundation to support the St. John's mission of "providing living opportunities within nurturing environments of hope, dignity, and love."Support to ResidentsAs a ministry of the church and a not-for-profit corporation, St. John's is committed to providing a continuum of housing opportunities and supportive services primarily to the elderly. St. John's has made a commitment that no one will be turned away or asked to leave because of inability to pay. We served 1,186 seniors on our campus here in Billings in 2017. St. John's served an additional 764 seniors in outlying communities. The below are examples of that support:1) Many residents are exhausting their financial resources sooner than anticipated. The Annual Fund supports those residents who cannot meet their financial needs. In 2017, resident subsidies included:* $7,318 rent subsidy for Chapel Court residents,* $3,972 in subsidies for resident needs.2) One of the great works of St. John's is our remarkable Pastoral Care program. Spiritual support, worship, and bible study are at the heart of our ministry to residents. In 2017, the Foundation provided $51,869 to support the cost of Pastoral Care activities across campus. St. John's believes we must provide our elderly residents with more than just room and board. Accordingly, we have ministers and chaplains on staff to meet both the spiritual and emotional needs of our residents and staff.3) The majority of our residents are limited in their ability to leave campus and participate in meaningful activities. The St. John's Activities program provides entertainment, neighborly interaction and helps keep minds stimulated and healthy. The Foundation provided $58,234 in 2017 to help cover the cost of our activities program. This support allowed for funding trips to local attractions and shopping malls to give residents an opportunity to experience the community outside of the campus. This funding also provided numerous games, videos, and events on site to stimulate the interests of our elderly. 4) During 2014-2016, our fundraising efforts focused on the Legacy of Love (LOL) Campaign. Total gifts of $467,021 were received to remodel the rooms of our dementia wing to improve the lives of our residents afflicted with this terrible disease by affording them a more functional living situation. We began construction in 2015 and to date have spent $239,636 remodeling these rooms ($102,935 in 2017).Support to EmployeesSt. John's employees are the heart and soul of our organization. Many employees work in challenging environments, both physically and mentally. They are providing 24 hour per day care for a very vulnerable population. 1) The Foundation offers financial support to those staff members and their dependents who commit themselves to personal and career growth. In 2017, the Foundation awarded 12 scholarships (tuition reimbursements) in the amount of $18,261 to employees continuing their education at an accredited two or four-year institution. 2) Often times, through no fault of their own, employees may find themselves in an unexpected crisis. At any time, an employee may seek the resources of the Employee Crisis Fund through the Pastoral Care department with no questions asked. In 2017, 64 employees received $18,700 in support to help with such items as rent and utility assistance, prescription costs, vehicle repairs or school supplies for a child. 3) At Christmas, those employee families who do not have the means to enjoy the season are "adopted" by other employees, through our Share the Joy program, and given food and gifts to insure that they too have a wonderful Christmas. During 2017, we adopted 32 employee families through this program.Support to the CommunitySt. John's is a ministry serving more than just our staff and residents. We are committed to serving our community and those communities around us in any capacity we can. An example of that support is the Summer Concert Season: The Foundation's signature event is the Summer Concert Series. St. John's presents 5 free concerts for our residents and the outside community each summer, on our campus, at the Fred &amp; Marie Miller Pavilion. From its humble beginnings in 1998 to a thriving series going strong for the last 20 years, the concerts have become a summer tradition for many. It is common to have close to 2,500 music lovers each week at the concerts with an annual attendance of 12,000 people. The Foundation could not undertake this endeavor alone and relies on the support of countless staff, volunteers and sponsors to help ensure its success. Direct costs, paid with sponsor contributions, allow the concerts to remain free for the community. Concerts have expanded to the Crossings and Willows campuses in recent years. Other Ministry SupportPreviously the St. John's Foundation Board voted to distribute endowment earnings equivalent to 5-6% of endowment value annually, paid on a quarterly basis, to St. John's Lutheran Ministries, Inc. During 2017 the Foundation distributed $190,019 to St. John's to help cover nursing home operating expenses, specifically the gap between our current cost of care and the Medicaid daily rate. Lutheran Social Services (LSS) of Montana is another ministry of St. John's. LSS is committed to bringing hope to those in need with adoption support services. These include birthparent counseling, adoptive family preparation, mental health counseling, search and reunion services, and post-adoption counseling. Donations that are designated for LSS offset these costs. In 2017, LSS served 318 individuals and had a role in the placement of seven children in forever homes. St. John's sponsors students from local colleges for clinical learning on our campus. In addition, we hold classes to train individuals interested in becoming a C NA. We had 66 CNA class graduates in 2017. St. John's continues to make a difference in the lives of families, residents, employees and our community every day. St. John's is a place where all people are recognized and celebrated as both givers and receivers of love, so the difference made in one person's life creates an enriching experience for someone else. Without the wonderful support of the community and donors, St. John's Foundation would not be able to exist. St. John's is truly grateful for the support given by talented and resourceful people that helps us remain one of the premier Senior Living and Long-Term Care facilities in the Northwest.</Desc>
