As part of a rebranding exercise, a suite of stationery and marketing communications was produced by Glenn Fretz during the early months of his partnership in Goodhoofd/Fretz. Glenn was raised in the Mennonite community, and given many opportunities to apply his skills to church-related design projects from the early 60s onwards.
The foundation was established to provide financial services, initially to Mennonites then subsequently to a wider Christian audience (now called Abundance Canada). The symbol, an upwards arrow within a strong outer form, combines ideas of growth and care, suggesting that charitable funds placed in their custody are protected, maximized and directed, as part of the Mennonite belief in ‘faithful stewardship’.
The folder contains 8 simple printed inserts, namely Revocable Trust, Life Interest Agreements, Estate Planning, Goals and Objectives, Gift Annuities, Board of Directors, Stewardship Education and Will Counselling.
