In 1911, Henry and Annie Merner Pfeiffer donated his parents’ farmstead plus $20,000 so The Evangelical Association could build a place for aging church members to call home. The denomination had looked for a location in its westernmost states for eight years.
The Pfeiffer family continued giving over the years, making residential additions and a chapel possible. Countless others have supported the mission of Western Home Communities since then.
Creative Giving
When your organization’s mission is “to assertively create fulfilling lifestyle,” giving can be fun and creative! People living with dementia enjoy riding around campus in a Polaris Ranger that provides fresh air and friendly waves. Residents and community neighbors take more walks around campus, knowing they can sit a spell (or read a book) on any of the benches provided by donors. And this short video shows how one family helped make our pickleball courts a reality.
Scholarships
The foundation awards scholarships annually to help deserving employees reach their educational goals and to build a trained workforce for the future. Most recently, donors endowed a health sciences scholarship fund in honor of the late director of development, Mary Taylor, shown here making previous scholarship awards.
