Give from the heart and build a legacy for future generations
Leaving a legacy is possible for anyone with any level of income through a planned gift. Women of the ELCA is grateful to those who gave small-planned gifts over a hundred years ago that continue to sustain our ministry today. Your gift will be equally important because it comes from your heart and your spirit of generosity, whether it is a large gift from a large estate, a modest gift dedicated during a time of economic uncertainty in your life, or any size gift from any place in between. While making an estate plan might feel complicated, know that anyone can make a planned gift. An ELCA Foundation regional gift planner is your first step in the process. They will guide you each step of the way, with confidential and compassionate financial counseling aimed at facilitating your generosity. That means—they make it easy for you to give where you want to give. To take that first step, find your regional gift planner here and tell them you are interested in making a planned gift to Women of the ELCA.
