The IVES FAMILY ENDOWED FUND was established to help support this family’s beloved Camp Mechuwana. All donations help to further the ministry of this camp.

A Place of Hope

“The camping ministry at Mechuwana has transformed thousands of lives, offering youth and adults a place to grow, belong, and explore their spirituality in a truly beautiful place. Cliff and Jane Ives believed in and worked tirelessly to strengthen this ministry for almost their entire lives. They created the Ives Family Fund so every child — regardless of financial ability — can experience this sacred community. Because of their generosity, Mechuwana keeps its promise: no child or family is ever turned away. The Ives Family Fund helps ensure camp remains a place of welcome, hope, and life‑changing experiences for all.”
