Letter From The President
The Ascension Lutheran Church Foundation (ALCF) has the honor to continue the journey begun by our founder, Pete Pederson, who was innovative and strategic in developing ALCF. With that said, we are blessed with the gifts received from our legacy donors. These legacy donors had a vision, when they created endowments through ALCF for students to receive scholarship money for their education. These gifts are given based on our legacy donor wishes on how to distribute them. They are:
- Beyer Scholarship
- Maccarone Scholarship
- Amy Prueher Scholarship
- Christian Education
- Jonathan E. Doering Scholarship
- Myrna Beyer Aronson Scholarship
- Hanson Scholarship
We would like to thank the above legacy donors whose scholarships will be given on Sunday, June 12 at the 9:00 a.m. service to those recipients who submitted the appropriate paperwork requirement to the Grants/Scholarship committee.
We also gave two additional scholarships to Ascension Lutheran School from:
- Halweg Gulbranson
- Bonnie Bartlett ALCS Scholarship
Congratulations to all our recipients and may God bless you in your continued journey of faith and education.
Lastly, to the Grants/Scholarship committee we are blessed with your talents and appreciate your due diligence with the process and all the work you all have done. Thank you so much!
If you would like to learn more about how you can start your legacy with ALCF please email us at
As always, we believe this work brings hope and promise to those we serve.
Best & Blessings,
Sandra Howe
