Who we are

Our mission in action

Since 2011, Immanuel’s Foundations have been actively supporting our internal and external communities. This support includes awarding student scholarships to our part-time team members, granting money to local organizations making a difference, and raising funds for campus enhancements. The foundations are proud to be involved of all aspects of Immanuel’s mission.

The Immanuel Foundations

Using our resources to impact the lives of others

Our founding charter, created on October 8, 1887, set the course for Immanuel’s future:

“The object of this corporation shall be the relief of sick and suffering, the care and education of orphans and neglected children, the support of widows and aged persons, without reference to creed, color, or nationality, and the establishment of hospitals, homes, and other institutions for such works of mercy.”

Immanuel Community Foundation

Since 2011, the Immanuel Community Foundation has embraced its role to support Immanuel’s residents, participants, and team members in a variety of ways.

Whether it’s through life-long learning, campus enhancements, student scholarships, or providing financial support in a crisis situation, the ICF embodies Immanuel’s mission of Christ-centered service to seniors, each other, and the community.

It might be the day when someone needs a helping hand, or it might just be another Tuesday, but the ICF team is ready to help through:

Life-long learning opportunities
Community/center improvements & amenities
Mission-driven activities
Team member scholarships
Resident Assistance Fund
Helping Hands Fund & more!

Making a difference

While most think of the financial impacts that foundations provide, the Immanuel Community Foundation strives to also provide life-enriching, educational, and fun events. From music to art, animal interactions to life-long learning, our Immanuel Community Foundation Presents is a resident and participant favorite series provided at no cost to all of our communities and centers. In addition, our annual movie nights make evenings seem just a little more magical in our communities.

Meet our team

Driving our mission is what they do. From managing grants to organizing events to raising funds, the Foundations team works unwaveringly to allocate resources where needed most so all of Immanuel’s residents, participants, and team members take pride in our organization.
