How Gifts Are Managed
The Endowment Fund is invested in the ELCA Ministry Growth Fund which follows the ELCA's guidelines for socially responsible investing. The Endowment Fund is a perpetual fund from which earnings are distributed annually.
What is Planned Giving?
“Planned giving” means creating a specific plan for future gifts to benefit our church or other charities that are important to us. These gifts may be made during our lifetime or at death. Many people consider planned giving when preparing a will or estate planning, but planned giving can be made part of our financial plans at any time in our lives. Planned gifts to the Endowment Fund will ensure that the mission of our church will continue into the future.
Making a charitable bequest in your will is the simplest way to make a planned gift. You can specify the amount or percentage of assets that are to pass to the church or charity. Your estate will receive an estate tax deduction for the bequest. There is no limit on the amount of the charitable gift made by bequest. Gifts to the Endowment Fund can remain anonymous by request.
