Clifton House Inc, (dba Beacon Haven since 2008) has been operating facility-based Christian Science nursing services throughout the Midwest for more than 100 years. Incorporated in 1924, Beacon Haven operates a Medicare-certified facility. Patient fee revenue pays for the cost of care received and generous annual gift support pays for the cost of keeping the services open and ready all day, every day for whenever a need may arise.

major gifts
Ongoing fundraising needs at Beacon Haven include (1) annual gifts that support on-going nursing operations and keep care accessible with affordable rates, and (2) grants and special gifts used to maintain the facility as well as upgrade technology and nursing equipment. A capital endowment campaign is underway to raise legacy gifts for a $5M endowment that supports training and sustainable living wages for nurses. An $8M capital building campaign was completed in 2008 to construct a new, modern facility replacing an outdated, 40-year-old building in need of extensive repairs.
Comprehensive fundraising support.
Our fundraising services for Beacon Haven include both annual and capital campaign management, grant writing, and major gifts. Additional services provided in support of these fundraising roles include board development, strategic planning, digital communications, as well as financial management including accounting, financial reporting, budget development, audit support, and federal and state compliance reporting.
Capital Campaign Management
Successful completion of a $3.5M capital construction campaign to relocate and build a modern facility at a new campus on the shore of Pike Lake. An ongoing $5M capital endowment campaign has achieved 52% of goal to date with gifts ranging from $1,000 to $950,000.
