Partnerships That Move Our Mission Forward
At the heart of our Foundation is a simple but powerful promise: to ensure that every resident experiences dignity, respect, and a true sense of belonging through the programs and services we provide each day.
This mission doesn’t come to life on its own—it thrives because of partnership. The relationships we build with our donors are the driving force behind meaningful moments, innovative solutions, and enhanced quality of life for those we serve.
One example of this impact can be seen in Benedictine Living Community Dickinson, where a long-standing partnership with Dean Kluver & Son Painting continues to make a lasting difference. Through Dean’s generosity and commitment, and with a bit of creative, outside-the-box thinking, Development Director Cassie Visser helped bring a new vision to life.
Not only was a newly purchased van—funded entirely through donor support—given a vibrant, eye-catching Benedictine-branded wrap, but an existing bus was also refreshed and transformed. Thanks to the expertise of Sure Sign, the updated vehicle now proudly reflects the Benedictine mission throughout the community.
But the impact of these partnerships doesn’t stop in Dickinson.
In Ada, another donor-funded van received its own Benedictine “bling,” showcasing the same spirit of pride and visibility. Following the completion of the wrap, Cassie brought the story full circle—personally inviting major gift donors to experience their impact firsthand. By picking them up and taking them for a celebratory ride around town, donors could see exactly what their generous $45,000 gift made possible.
These moments are more than just celebrations—they are powerful reminders that when generosity meets purpose, incredible things happen.
Because of our donors, our residents are not only cared for—they are seen, valued, and connected to a community that truly feels like home.
