Annual Report and Newsletter
All of our donors receive an Annual Report that lists every gift we receive. This document is published and distributed to our supporters every year, as well as to our volunteers and other groups who are interested in the work accomplished at St. Ann’s Community.
Periodically, through our St. Ann’s Community newsletter SPIRIT, we publish a listing of donors who have given to the Foundation to honor or memorialize a friend, loved one, or special caregiver.
Donor Recognition Wall
Significant gifts of $500 or more are honored on our Donor Recognition Wall, in the lobby of St. Ann’s Home. Your name will appear on the wall throughout the year in which you make your gift, in the "Annual Gifts" section.
Tree of Life
The colorful Tree of Life in St. Ann’s Home lobby is filled with the names of people who have let us know that they have remembered St. Ann’s Community by making a planned gift or have included us in their will. These generous gifts create a lasting legacy that enriches the quality of life for all who are served by St. Ann’s.
To become part of the Tree of Life, please notify us in writing that you have remembered St. Ann’s Foundation in your will or estate plan.
