I am the Foun­da­tion. Have you eaten at one of Hennepin’s Sun­day Brunches?  Par­tic­i­pated in a youth mis­sion trip? Enjoyed the fel­low­ship of oth­ers at a spe­cial wor­ship ser­vice in Lor­ing Park? As mem­bers of the Hen­nepin com­mu­nity, we all share the gifts given to the Hen­nepin Foundation.

Hen­nepin Foun­da­tion, begun by a small group of vision­ary peo­ple, has grown to hun­dreds of con­trib­u­tors mak­ing large and small gifts to enrich the pro­grams avail­able to all Hen­nepin mem­bers, vis­i­tors and friends.  The endow­ment that started mod­estly makes a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion to the life of your church today.

Through church com­mit­tee appli­ca­tions, Hen­nepin Foun­da­tion annu­ally makes grants for church pro­gram­ming. This money is sep­a­rate from the church’s annual oper­at­ing bud­get and also sep­a­rate from funds for facil­i­ties man­aged by the Board of Trustees.

Since 1971, the foun­da­tion has granted over $2,400,000 to sup­port Hen­nepin pro­grams, activ­i­ties and schol­ar­ships.  The Dig­nity Cen­ter, aca­d­e­mic schol­ar­ships, Hennepin’s alter­na­tive wor­ship ser­vices, and youth mis­sion trips are sam­ples of hun­dreds of funded projects.

Whether as a par­tic­i­pant, donor or vol­un­teer – we can all say – I am the Foun­da­tion. To read the lat­est Foun­da­tion brochure, click here.
