The Lutheran Community Foundation

Current economic times are demonstrating the importance of endowments for many Lutheran congregations. A means of ensuring financial security, plus the increasing number of congregations becoming independent or changing synod affiliations, has led to a near 50% increase in the rate of new endowments at the LCF in 2010.

Whether a congregation needs to establish an endowment or revive an existing one, you have a flexible option to offer through the LCF. Consider these benefits:

• The LCF works with individual congregations and our pan-Lutheran status is more attractive than ever.
• Congregations have access to the LCF’s $200 million, fully diversified investment pool – larger than what’s typically available to most congregations.
• Congregations can choose from three investment portfolios based on their distribution needs.

LCF gift planners are available to assist individual supporters.
