In 1983, Saint John's established a charitable foundation to be a funding source for residents whose assets are no longer adequate to cover their needs and to assist donors who wish to provide us financial support.
 

• Saint John's On The Lake annually assures significant charitable support for quality care to residents and clients in need
   
• We maintain a traditional relationship with the Episcopal diocese, and though we were founded by churchwomen, we receive no financial support from the church
   
• Our 'Ministry to the Aging' provides health care services, spiritual programs and cultural opportunities, requiring substantial resources

How To Contribute
There are a number of ways to make a gift, and our Director of Development assists donors who are considering an individualized estate plan or have other questions related to giving.

• Gifts of cash make an immediate impact today and for the future
   
• Gifts of appreciated stocks with a long-term holding period provide Saint John's full asset market value while giving the donor tax advantages
   
• Bequest gifts can be outlined in your will or added as a codicil, creating a perpetual commitment to our mission. Gifts may be a percentage or residue of an estate, identified property, or specific dollar amount
   
• Tributes are a unique and lasting way to honor the memory of a loved one, or to recognize a special occasion, like a birth, wedding, anniversary, or birthday
   
• Gift annuities provide donors annual guaranteed life income (partially tax-free) while helping to reduce estate taxes and support Saint John's
   
• Gifts of life insurance are possible by exchanging existing policies or acquiring a new one to benefit Saint John's On The Lake

All donations to Saint John's are tax deductible as provided by law. Gifts may be unrestricted or tied to a specific interest of the donor. Recognition is offered to all donors; of course, donors may remain anonymous.

Your financial contribution will assure a strong and vital vision for current and future residents of Saint John's. The Office of Development is in partnership with Generations United, the Leave-a-Legacy Society, the National Council on Aging, the National Committee on Planned Giving, the Association for Fundraising Professionals, and the Nonprofit Center of Milwaukee.

The Foundation is governed by a 4-member Board of Directors in partnership with the Development Committee of the Corporate Board of Directors. For additional information please contact or call our Director of Development at (414) 831-6911.
