The Ascension Lutheran Church Foundation
"I am the vine; you are the branches.
If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit..."
John 15:5
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Ascension Lutheran Church Foundation is to provide the Ascension community
with a highly structured and sustainable organization for managing members' personal resources
to carry out God's work now and into the future through missions, outreach, education,
and capital programs.
Our Vision Statement
To provide on-going opportunities for donors to contribute financial assets to the Foundation
in the knowledge that they will be managed prudently for God's work in missions, outreach,
education, and capital programs.
Our Promise Statement
To use all gifts as donors direct to carry out the Foundation's priorities in the support
of missions, outreach, education, and capital programs.
The Foundation serves a wonderful function for Ascension members and the community.
The Foundation, subject to special gift restrictions, spends only the interest
from investments. The greater part of the Foundation's income stream is
directed to
Outreach, Education, Missions, and Capital Programs.
During the past three years, the Foundation has given over $175,000 in
financial assistance toward missions and in-house special projects. The
Foundation supports Ascension college-bound students and those interested in
seminary education. We are currently supporting missionary work in the Far
East.
Sound interesting? There's more. Through the Foundation, funding went to
the...
- Columbarium Memorial Garden
- Ascension Mission Partners
- Denver-area Lutheran High Schools
The Foundation has a Lutheran Elementary School Fund that aids Ascension
members who wish to send their children to area Lutheran schools. There is
also a special fund that sponsors family seminars. Much of the Foundation's
assistance stays in our community.
We invite you to join us in expanding the work of the Foundation and make a
financial commitment to the growth of the Foundation General Fund.
Increasing the General Fund generates an increased income stream, which in turn
provides additional support for Missions, Education, Outreach, and Capital Programs.
Planned giving and memorial gifts are an important part of our income.
These are perpetual gifts, since only the interest is spent. Consider including
the Ascension Lutheran Church Foundation in
your estate planning through a will, life insurance gift, or trust. Gifts
can be restricted if you desire, or given to the general fund.
Please contact the church office for further information.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) corporation.
