Continue Your Weekly Offering with an Endowment
Would you like to leave a lasting impact on the LCMS congregation you call home? Imagine creating an enduring gift that ensures your weekly offerings continue supporting your beloved congregation. This gift provides consistent funding for your congregation, even after you're called home to Heaven.
By adding a personal endowment to your will or estate plan, or by funding one while you’re alive, you can turn the financial gifts you’ve been given into a consistent, perpetual source of funding for your home congregation.
What is a personal endowment fund?
Endowments can be funded now, or upon death as part of your estate plan, for as little as $25,000. Once funded, the LCMS Foundation invests the funds and distributes a set portion of their earnings each year to the congregation or ministry of your choice. Endowments can even be named after your family or a loved one and can generally be structured to operate just as you wish.
