FOUNDATION

Foundation

The Emmanuel Lutheran Foundation manages Perpetual and Special Endowment Funds dedicated to supporting the missions and activities of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Emmanuel Lutheran Early Childhood Center and Laurel Hall School.

The Emmanuel Lutheran Foundation grows through generous gifts which are prudently invested and prayerfully dispersed to support the ministries of Emmanuel Lutheran Church. A gift to the foundation is truly "THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING."
Planned gifts are increasing in popularity because they allow you to reap the many benefits of giving during your lifetime. Many individuals are choosing to incorporate planned giving into their financial and estate plan. Through planned giving, you are provided with an excellent opportunity to control who will benefit from your lifetime of hard work.

Your individualized goals and dreams make each gift unique and important. As Martin Luther stated, "The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious." Planned giving takes many forms and can be tailored to meet your needs and goals.

Ways to Support the Church Foundation

Donors may make their contributions to the Foundation through a multitude of options. Gifts of all sizes and in many forms are welcome.
