St. Luke Foundation
Established in 1983
The St. Luke
Foundation was established in 1983 to help ensure that the ministry of St.
Luke Lutheran Community, on behalf of the aging, will continue for as long
as there is a need for such care.The Foundation, set up as an endowment,
provides financial support to and for the benefit of
St.
Luke Lutheran Community and its residents.
The Foundation is a separate, non-profit, charitable corporation
having its own board of trustees.The stronger the Foundation, the greater
assurance that St. Luke Lutheran Community will keep its promise to help
those residents needing financial support. A gift
to the Foundation, however big or small, becomes a life line in the
donor’s future or the future of their loved ones.
The St. Luke Foundation is providing expenditures of over
$10,000.00 a month for this assistance program, which is currently helping
nine residents.
Rev. Luther Lautenschlager, CEO, Ken Sippola, Development Director, and
St. Luke Lutheran Community Board of Trustees are asking all of our
friends and supporters to help the St. Luke Foundation’s fund raising
efforts. Since 1983, the Foundation has provided over $2,110,000 in
financial aid to those residents who do not qualify for any form of
assistance and have outlived their own resources.
Foundation Statement of Purpose
In answer to a call from GOD
The Foundation will serve the St. Luke
Lutheran Community
By growing and multiplying the gifts
received through His grace
The primary purpose of the St. Luke
Foundation is to support residents who need financial assistance. The
Foundation also fosters and facilitates new projects and provides for special
needs of the St. Luke Lutheran Community.
Our hopes and prayers are to continue
the tradition of a strong witness of our Christian faith by providing a sense of
well being for future residents who may need that same type of help in order to
remain at St. Luke.
