I’m pleased to share with you the latest issue of the ELCA Foundation’s newsletter, “Insights.” This issue highlights some of the important strides we’re taking to achieve our vision of a culture of intentional generosity and financial stewardship that will expand the work of the ELCA.
I hope you’ll spend time with our 2023 annual report, which has been expanded to include information on gift planning in addition to our investment services. You’ll also find information on a new leadership position at the ELCA Foundation, which I encourage you to review and share among your networks.
Lastly, you’ll find some articles designed to encourage ELCA members to leave a legacy and support the Lutheran ministries dearest to their hearts.
Thank you for all you do to support the mission of the ELCA Foundation. Your support and engagement are invaluable to us. As always, I am here to answer any questions you may have.
