In January 2025 The Ark established a Capacity Building Fund in honor of Bob Guenzel, whose leadership emphasized thoughtful planning, adaptability, and investing in the organization’s long-term health. In that same spirit, the Bob Guenzel Fund provides flexible resources that allow The Ark to respond to opportunities and challenges that will shape its future. The fund supports strategic investments in programming, audience development, organizational infrastructure, and technology—key areas that strengthen The Ark’s ability to fulfill its mission and serve the community. To date, over 100 individuals, along with The Ark’s remarkable volunteers, have contributed over $300,000 to the Bob Guenzel Fund.
