DescThe 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.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, 2015 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. A commitment that St. John's has made is that no one will be turned away or asked to leave because of their inability to pay. The below are examples of that support:1) Many residents are exhausting their financial resources sooner than anticipated. The Annual Fund is used to support those residents who cannot meet their financial needs. In 2015, resident subsidies included:* $18,754 rent subsidy for Chapel Court residents,* $4,645 of subsidies for resident needs including visits to the onsite beauty shop.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 2015, the Foundation provided $49,086 to St. John's to support the cost of Pastoral Care activities across campus. St. John's believes we should provide our elderly residents with more than just room and board. In that regard we have ministers and chaplains on staff to meet both the spiritual and emotional needs of our residents and staff.3) Most of the residents are limited in their ability to leave campus and participate in meaningful activities. St. John's Activities program provides entertainment, neighborly interaction, and helps keep minds stimulated and healthy. The Foundation provided $55,076 in 2015 to St. John's to help cover the cost of our activities program. This support allowed for funding trips to local attractions and historical sites, and giving the 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 the last two years our fundraising efforts have been focused on the Legacy of Love (LOL) Campaign. Funds in the amount of $432,706 have been raised 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. In 2015 we started construction and spent $50,436 remodeling these rooms.Support to EmployeesSt. John's employees are the heart and soul of our organization. They are often faced with very physically and mentally challenging work environments. Day in and day out they are caring for a very vulnerable population. 1) The Foundation wishes to financially support those staff members and their dependents who commit themselves to personal and career growth. In 2015, the Foundation awarded 9 scholarships in the amount of $10,076 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 situation. At anytime an employee may seek the resources of the Employee Crisis Fund through the Pastoral Care department with no questions asked. In 2015, 95 employees received $17,945 of support to help with such items as rent and utility assistance, prescription costs or school supplies for a child. 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 that we can. Examples of that support are: 1) The Foundation's signature event is the Summer Concert Series. For five weeks each summer, free concerts are offered for our residents and the community at the Fred & Marie Miller Pavilion on the campus of St. John's. From its humble beginnings in 1998 to a thriving series going strong for the last 18 years, the concerts have become a summer tradition for many. It is not uncommon to have 2,000 - 2,500 music lovers each week at the concerts and an average annual attendance of 8,500 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. One of the unique features of the Summer Concert Series is the partnership with other area non-profits. Each week, a local non-profit organization volunteers in the concession stand at the concerts. A portion of the revenue received from the sale of ice cream and other treats is given back to the volunteer group. In 2015, St. John's Foundation distributed $5,540 to five non-profits for their help at the concession stand. 2) Twice a week St. John's offers free yoga classes to the community and our employees. This is a great benefit that we can offer our employees as a way to re-charge and re-energize. In 2015, approximately 1,000 people were served through our yoga classes with the Foundation subsidizing the yoga instructor fees. Other ministry supportDuring 2013, the Foundation Board voted to distribute endowment earnings equivalent to 5-6% of endowment value annually, paid on a quarterly basis. During 2015 the Foundation transferred $165,236 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 through adoption support services that include: birthparent counseling, adoptive family preparation, mental health counseling, search and reunion services, and post-adoption counseling. Donations received for LSS are used to offset these costs. In 2015, LSS served 412 people and had a role in the placement of 9 children in forever homes. St. John's continues to make a difference in the lives of families, residents, employees and our community each and 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 that is 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 that is received from people who give of their talents and resources that help make us one of the premier Senior Living and Long-Term Care facilities in the Northwest.Desc
