Gift planning can make a world of difference to the financial health of your ministry. Learn how the Foundation can partner with your church, school or ministry organization to establish a long-term solution that supports the work you do in Jesus’ name.
Having a gift plan in place provides benefits beyond the obvious blessing of providing for your heirs. Those benefits include peace of mind, potentially significant tax savings and the chance to create a lasting gift to your favorite ministries.
Gift planning has many options that may seem overwhelming. We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you start considering the ways that gift planning can make a positive impact to your ministry or your personal stewardship.
We are thankful that we can leave a bequest to our children, and also through the Foundation’s work, make a gift to all the congregations we have served, our Concordias, and an agency we are passionate about.

We developed a plan that creates security for ourselves and our young son while furthering the work done by the church and others. Your process provided us the means to shape a plan that is useful now and easily flexible for the future.

It was with great joy that we were able to work on our legacy for Lutheran ministries. The LCMS Foundation helped us to formulate a plan to ensure that a portion of the gifts God has given us would be used to bless others.

The process provided us with an easy to use form to compose a gift letter that models for our children continued ministry support after our passing as well as a personal faith statement that will be given to our children and their families upon our passing.
