The purpose of The Fund is to support 
the work and mission of Faith Lutheran 
Church in and beyond the local 
community.  No portion of The Fund 
will be used to support regular operating
expenses at Faith Lutheran Church. 
Faith Lutheran Church Council
approval is needed for programs that 
The Fund supports.

The Fund is called a mission endowment 
fund because only the interest which 
The Fund accumulates will be disbursed.
Your gift to The Fund literally will keep 
giving for years to come.

Designated gifts and memorials will 
continue to be administered separately
from The Fund.

The ELCA Foundation will 
professionally invest and manage the 
Faith Lutheran Mission Endowment 
Fund as part of the ELCA Endowment 
Fund Pooled Trust.
