| While
Shepherds Watch Their Flocks
Sometimes its hard to take the time to think about family and self. Sometimes you just wonder how you can get your congregation thinking about their mission. The ELCA Foundation can help. |

|
|
| For you and your
family -
Our regional gift planners and our staff in Chicago can show you the planned giving opportunities that benefit your family and those ministries that you may wish to support. Have you considered how your ELCA retirement account can be used for family and to Leave a Legacy for Ministry? Our regional gift planners and Chicago staff can show you how a testamentary designation of your retirement account can keep income flowing to your children and then to the ELCA ministries of your choice. |

|
|
| For your
congregation -
Our regional gift planners and our Chicago staff are available to conduct free Leave a Legacy for Ministry seminars in your congregation. Seminars focused on making gifts for ministry happen through intentional charitable estate planning. |

We
can help your endowment committee and church council focus on using
endowment funds to enhance ministry outreach in your community and the
world. Estate gifts for mission endowment
funds just don't happen they have to be nurtured. We have the
tools and expertise to make it happen for your congregation. Click here for a PDF copy of How to Create a Mission Endowment Fund. |
