FRIENDS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

Your Stewardship Resource Partner

ROWNTREE GARDENS

A Quaker Gardens Senior Community
Living Our Promise for 50 Years

Friends Development Corporation (FDC) was incorporated in 1920 to provide low interest loans to churches and related organizations within EFC-Southwest. As the beneficiary of generous gifts from donors, as well as through careful investment, we currently provide loans to a growing number of our churches, in some cases to those who would not be able to find reasonable funding alternatives.

We strive to operate in a manner that is personal, flexible and fiscally responsible. As part of the lending process, we factor in your specific ministry vision and mission. Because we can operate with greater flexibility than conventional lending institutions, we are able to make decisions more quickly.

As your financial partner, we are confident that we can help to provide you with financial resources to grow your ministry. In addition to providing loans and grants, FDC also has stewardship resources available. It is our desire to partner with you to grow God’s Kingdom.

In 2015 our community celebrates a very special milestone. Fifty years ago, we first opened our doors to the public as Quaker Gardens — a not-for-profit senior community founded on the promise of compassion and devotion for every person we encounter, through every season of life. Since then, we have been blessed to meet and care for thousands of individuals and families who have become part of our community and our family.

Over the past 50 years, our community has continued to thrive and grow. We’ve added new facilities, services and amenities to better meet the changing needs of our community members. We’ve improved our grounds and buildings. Now we’re close to completing a major renovation that will bring added comfort and modern conveniences to the people who live here and visit us. We’ve also recently transitioned from Quaker Gardens to Rowntree Gardens — a name that reflects our renewed commitment to live our promise every day, for the next 50 years and beyond.
