In recent years, Deborah and David Rogers have articulated a fresh mission for the Foundation, one that lays out not just our reason for being, but our key focus areas, our values, and the overall shape of our work. This mission is rooted in our historic legacy, our core commitments, and our faith.
Society runs on busyness, individualism, and indifference, distracting us from the deeper connections that lead to transformation.
We experience the world as polarized, judgmental, and dismissive, denying our needs to be heard, understood, and valued.
Society can be controlling, skeptical, and unimaginative, making it difficult to embrace hope, mystery, beauty, and love.
We work to facilitate connections for people to really know and be known by one another, creating opportunity for transformation to take root.
We work to transform cycles of brokenness by making space for people, serving them in ways that are relevant to their culture and circumstance, and giving them an opportunity to experience healthy rhythms.
God is always at work transforming all creation according to his timing, and we believe God uniquely uses creation, creativity, and the arts to point to and unlock hope, mystery, beauty, and love.
We invite people into a lifelong faith journey, creating opportunities to encounter God by staking their lives in something larger, deeper, and more enduring.
We serve families and children by supporting cross-generational relationships and communities marked by deep belonging.
Rooted in Christian faith and brought to life by our shared values, our work takes two shapes: we run programs that nurture the human spirit, and we forge relationships with like-minded organizations.
Receiving one another with grace and generosity
Taking care of everything that is entrusted to us
Working as a team with trust and honesty
Committing to quality in everything we do
We work to facilitate connections for people to really know and be known by one another.
We make space for people, honoring each person and giving them an opportunity to experience healthy rhythms.
We believe God uniquely uses creation, creativity, and the arts to unlock hope, mystery, beauty, and love. We invite people to participate in the creative life.
We maintain that times of unhurried reflection—silence, solitude, and thoughtful conversation—prepare us to re-enter the world with perspective, wisdom, and openness.
We connect with like-minded stakeholders in San Antonio, South Central Texas, and beyond, believing that transformative work requires active partnership.
We set the table, creating opportunities for institutions and programs to connect, learn about, and share best practices with partnering social service organizations.
We partner with catalytic initiatives and strengthen the day-to-day operations of aligned organizations.
