6 dear friends. We all want to get to what matters most to us; the things that are aligned with our values. You’d think that it would be simple to get to the heart of the matter, but it’s all too easy to be distracted by the superficial and the hype. In short, we want what’s real, what’s true, what’s important.

Sometimes being real is as simple as getting the facts straight. It also means taking responsibility. And it’s about being honest, transparent and intentional. We’re talking about stare-it-in-the-face real.

LCF donors want to get to what matters most to them in their giving. They want to make a difference in the lives of people, often people they’ve never met. And increasingly, they want to see the results first hand. In short, they want it to be real.

In 2012, LCF donors made grants of more than $10 million to 2,648 charities and causes. You’ll find these charities and causes listed throughout this annual report. But the real story lives behind these grants in the way that lives were lutheran community foundation / 2012 annual report annual / 2012 foundation community lutheran changed and the message of joy that was spread across neighborhoods, nations and beyond to global ministries. In fact, the LCF determines the number of lives changed through grants as one way to measure the effectiveness of our collective grantmaking.

7 It’s relatively easy to make grants to charities, but the true measure of stewardship is demonstrated in how we ensure that each gift to the LCF is enhanced through sound fiscal management, and that each grant from our donors’ funds is intentional, purposeful with measurable results. Grants from the LCF Community Fund created real and meaningful change in 2012 through congregational-based training to prevent domestic violence, in projects that care for God’s creation and support to programs that rebuild communities after disasters. These efforts directly changed the lives of 51,623 people. That’s change that people feel. Real change.

Is true joy anything less than real? The joy that we know as Christians is honest, transparent and intentional. It is God’s intention, and gift to us, that we experience complete joy. A joy made real for us and a joy to be shared in real ways with others. One might call this evangelism. At the LCF, we call it spreading joy and changing lives. And our donors make it real, every day. Genuinely. Reverend John R. Sabatelli, Board Chair Chris Andersen, President & Executive Director
