GATHERING OF GRATITUDE - April 2017
Gathering of Gratitude - April 2017
Our Annual Gathering of Gratitude gave the Four Corners Foundation an opportunity to thank its donors and share what the Foundation has accomplished in the past year. Donors in attendance had the pleasure of witnessing first hand testimony of how their generosity has impacted people's lives.
Last year, the Foundation broke ground on a new project known as the San Juan Community Gardens. The vision of the Foundation is to provide access to healthy produce to low-income families and to educate a community on the importance of nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices. Our first garden will be located directly behind the PATH emergency shelter and will benefit the clients of PATH and Byron's House of Hope.
The Foundation was honored to have the Director of Byron's House of Hope, Brian Myers speak, as well as one of his clients, who has turned his life around for himself and his family. The Foundation has been working closely with Brian to locate a property, in which to house the program. It has been a long road, but finally with the help of PATH, we have secured a place for the program and we look forward to its opening this summer.
It is incredible to see how community, businesses and organizations can come together for the benefit of the common good and this year has been full of abundant blessings. Continually, opportunities to help our community reveal themselves, and we respond in faith to our calling to help others. It is because of the generosity of so many, that the Foundation can accomplish its mission for a better community. The Foundation and its partners will leave a lasting legacy that will continue to make a positive impact for generations to come.

GATHERING OF GRATITUDE - November 2015
Gathering of Gratitude - November 2015
The Four Corners Foundation marked its fifth anniversary, Gathering of Gratitude, by inviting the community to write the “next chapter” of the Foundation’s community story.
When the Four Corners Foundation (FCF) was established in 2010, its focus was to fund a safe, welcoming emergency shelter facility to address San Juan County’s homeless concerns. Five years later, that original need has been met with the opening of A Path Home Campus.
Moreover, the generosity of Four Corners residents and businesses allowed the Foundation to nearly double the initial space plans with only a modest mortgage remaining. Operation of the emergency shelter and transitional housing facilities is now in the capable hands of PATH (People Assisting the Homeless).
As the Foundation moved into its second five years, the single-project focus that launched the organization has expanded into multiple service areas. FCF’s goal is to become a community foundation in every sense of the term.
“Our board spent much of 2015 rethinking how we might do greater good and involve more people,” said FCF president Dr. Matt deKay. “There’s good momentum going with A Path Home campus being up and running, and we all agreed that energy should be put to work through broader service. As a community foundation, we want to champion the needs, interests and priorities of our neighbors. We also need to assure those investing in Foundation projects—whether financially or through service—that there will be a good return in terms of value.”
To help deliver on both of these, the FCF Board is inviting members of the Four Corners community to help write the next chapter. “We sincerely want our neighbors to help determine the direction the Foundation’s success story takes,” Dr. deKay continued. “We want to know what they see that needs done. It aligns with our statement of belief is that we are ‘ordinary people doing extraordinary things…together.”
Those attending the Foundation’s 2015 Gathering of Gratitude had an opportunity to share their next-chapter ideas and celebrate achievements forged over the past five years.
ANNUAL REPORT - 2015
Annual Report - 2015
Dear Friends,
As I write this message, the Four Corners Foundation is at a point where our past, present and future meet. We have the achievements of the past five years which have provided us tremendous momentum. And now, we look forward to tomorrow. We are at the point where we can decide how to connect the past with the future.
In this annual report we speak of becoming a true community foundation. What does that mean? It means that our scope will be much broader than most foundations in our community, which typically have a specific focus.
The Four Corners Foundation will be different. We will connect existing worthwhile projects with funds. We will discover areas of need that are not being met and work towards solutions. Along with you—our generous donors and strongest supporters— we can achieve YOUR dreams for our Four Corners community. Please know that we are always open to your suggestions.
In closing, thank you for your support. I firmly believe our work is being blessed by God and you are part of that blessing.
Warmly,
Matt deKay, President
Board of Directors
