Colorado Episcopal Foundation
Great news from the Colorado Episcopal Foundation!! We’ve added two new tools to our website – the Interactive Gift Planning and Gift Planning News! These will aid you and parishioners all over the Diocese when creating gift planning scenarios, creating wills, give you examples through donor stories, and more! Parishioners will be able to do research from the comfort of their own homes and call us when they are ready. Also, leadership throughout the Diocese can use these tools to promote Planned Giving and enrich the Legacy Societies in their local churches.
To access these tools, go to our website www.coef.org, click on Programs and Services for Individuals, and then click on Interactive Gift Planning and/or Gift Planning News. And don’t forget to sign up for the weekly e-newsletter on the Gift Planning News page!
St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal School
Former Rector Connie Delzell inherited an after-school tutorial program for neighborhood children that met at St. Andrew’s and was staffed by volunteers from the congregation. She expanded the tutorial program, changing the focus to art and music. The Children’s Center for Arts & Learning was the result of this effort. Mother Connie served on the Board of Directors of the Cole Neighborhood Association and helped raise funds to renovate a deserted neighborhood school building which became the Wyatt Edison charter school. The Children’s Center for Arts and Learning supplied the after school program at Wyatt Edison School. Mother Connie had always championed the idea of an Episcopal Day School which would serve a socially and economically diverse student body. With the help of The Rev. Dr. Richard Valantasis and Senior Warden Betty Luce in 2002, the effort began to found St. Elizabeth’s School. The school opened in 2007 with its first kindergarten class. It is the second Episcopal school in Colorado, and the model of planned diversity in the student body has been adopted as a prototype by the National Association of Episcopal Schools as a model for the future.
City of Denver
Denver – population of 2.7 million in the metropolitan area – is a highly desirable place to live, work and raise a family. Thanks to its 300 days of sunshine annually and the nation’s largest public park system, Denver is ranked as the fittest city in the U.S. The average annual wage of $45,629 and the median home price of about $252,000 means that the region’s housing stock is now more affordable than in other competitive markets. With access to a highly educated work force, Metro Denver’s diverse and expanding business base attracts the most viable growth industries, such as aerospace, bioscience, energy, financial services, and information technology/software.
