Charitable giving today includes a variety of options that go beyond direct gifts of cash, and each option offers its own advantages and considerations. The Ways to Give booklet for endowment funds includes detailed information about assets and tools supporters can use to give to your endowment fund at the Foundation, as well as a gift form. You may choose to download and print the booklet yourself, or have the LCF customize it with your logo and mission statement in a format that that can be taken to your local printer.

Conferencing
In addition to the professional information provided in the blog, I would like to see a feature that promotes sharing by folks from other churches. We are particularly interested in hearing of others' experiences, successes and failures in promoting, growing, and using their fund.
We are relatively new and feel we are struggling to generate real interest in the fund. We thought it would be helpful to hear about others. (The bookmark idea looks like one to consider.)
Thanks,
Kent Hoover
PS: I just saw the "contributor" invitation below. I guess I'm thinking it would be good if you could create a conference board that would not be so formal. That might encourage others to contribute ideas and ask questions that could be answered by conferees.
