Letter from the President/CEO

June 2010

Dear Friends:

Thank you for visiting Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis’ website. We hope you find the content both informative and inspiring. 

Our vision is to see the Church brought into the lives of hurting people and people included in the healing life of the Church. We accomplish this by providing financial support (grants) to area congregations and organizations that, in turn, provide the skill, expertise, and care needed to improve the care of people in the St. Louis metropolitan region. Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis, through our grant support, acts as a conduit for Christians to model Christ’s servant leadership, thereby creating a healthier community attuned to mind, body, and soul.

In 2009, the Foundation launched a new strategic funding plan to guide our efforts over five years. The plan reflects the Board’s desire to strategically focus our resources to address critical community needs. I encourage you to read about each funding focus area. If you feel your congregation or organization addresses the issues identified, please contact us and schedule a time to meet. We welcome the opportunity to learn about your efforts and explore ways in which we can partner to positively impact the lives of hurting people in our community.

Faithfully,

Ann L. Vazquez
President/CEO
