Ascension School Camp and Conference Center
Feasibility study
Ascension School Camp and Conference Center is a vital ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon. Situated on approximately 100 acres of land, they are - in their own words - "A Place Apart to connect with God's mystery, celebrating the dignity, diversity and oneness of all creation." Ascension's identity is rooted in the core values of the diocese: human dignity, creation care and spiritual formation.
We're working with leadership to understand if and how, through collaborative partnerships, they can raise funds for capital projects that would transform their facilities, impacting campers and their families and conference attendees, as well as the local community at-large. We are working on a feasibility study to:
hone in on and articulate the vision for a potential capital campaign
create spaces for listening to current and potential donors, as well a variety of stakeholders (campers and their families, conference attendees, diocesan contacts, several community partners, and neighbors in Cove) to understand what is important to them and where their concerns or resistance may lie
create opportunities for relationship-building and strengthening of partnerships for a common cause
determine the quantifiable level of financial support that can reasonably be anticipated for the proposed projects and determine a feasible fundraising goal
