Message from Our President
Dear Friends and Supporters,
As Saint Francis Ministries continues to move forward, I am excited to share our operational vision for the future, embodied in our strategic plan. This plan and our operational vision is our commitment to enhancing the lives of children and families through expanded access, improved performance, a nurturing culture, and strong stewardship.
Our first strategic imperative, Access, focuses on opening doors to assist as many children, families, and communities as possible. We are dedicated to meeting our clients where they are, ensuring easy access to our services and those of our community partners. Through innovative approaches and a steadfast focus on equity and inclusion, we aim to create a more inclusive and supportive child welfare system.
Performance is our second strategic imperative, emphasizing the importance of providing unparalleled, equitable, and compassionate care. We are committed to investing in our team members, equipping them with leading-edge practices and fostering an environment that celebrates diversity and encourages innovation. By doing so, we ensure the best possible outcomes for the children and families we serve.

Our third strategic imperative, Culture, is rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and our enduring values. We strive to embody these values in all aspects of our work, fostering a collective spirit of purpose and excellence. Integrity, humility, and respect guide our interactions, while innovation and collaboration drive our efforts to create meaningful and lasting change.
Finally, our strategic imperative of Stewardship ensures the financial health and trust needed for enduring impact. By cultivating diverse funding streams and maintaining transparent and accountable practices, we build a strong foundation for our transformative programs. Our reputation for excellence attracts stakeholders and partners who share our vision and commitment to making a difference.
As we embark on this journey towards 2031, I am filled with hope and gratitude for the incredible community of supporters, partners, and team members who make our work possible. Together, we will continue to transform lives and create a brighter future for all.
Thank you for your unwavering support.
Sincerely,
William J. Clark, President/Chief Executive Officer
