2025 Program Goals
Performance Goal 1 – Fundraising
In 2025 the LFRF Development Committee will continue work on the annual funding campaign
by reaching out to existing and potential supporters to identify grants and other funding sources
in order to provide an income stream to support direct program and operating expenses. The
Foundation will develop and implement a plan to increase the number of corporate sponsors and
events during the year to raise funds. The fundraising goal for 2025 is $275,000.
Performance Goal 2 – Management of Resources
The Foundation will recruit and fill one full-time senior level position and an administrative
support position to staff the Foundation with approved grant funding. Strengthening current
management systems during 2025 with assistance provided by a local certified public accounting
firm that specializes in non-profit organizations will remain a top priority. Investments will be
made in training and development for the current Executive Director in order to remain
competitive.
2024 Program Initiatives
The Foundation will not plan or initiate any major projects during fiscal year 2025. The year will
be spent completing two initiatives that are currently underway and one security project at the
Scotland Street site. All of the projects were funded in previous fiscal years. In order to make sure
that the projects are delivered on time and within budget, the directors will serve on task teams
to assist in managing and focusing on Program Initiative 1 – The History of First Baptist Church
Book and Program Initiative 3 –Collection and Display of Artifacts. See descriptions below for
both initiatives.
IN addition to completing the work on the two major initiatives, work will continue in partnership
on updating the security systems in the Scotland Street site of the historic church to protect the
new exhibits and artifacts that will on be on display for the 250 th anniversary of the church.
