HONORING WISHES

Designated Gifts

A designated gift will be used for one of the specified ministry funds (see “Dedicated Funds”) based on the donor’s wishes and in harmony with the Foundation’s management principles.

IMPORTANT FLEXIBILITY

Undesignated Gifts

Undesignated gifts are put into the Foundation’s General Fund and used to award grants or to benefit areas of ministry that need it most. Using a set of approved management principles, the Foundation’s Planned Giving and Estate Planning Committee and Board of Directors make grant awards by evaluating requests submitted by a variety of St. Lorenz ministries.

LASTING FOUNDATION

Future Gifts

Planned giving options – such as wills, trusts, life insurance policies, annuities and stocks – are an opportunity for donors to establish a permanent partnership with St. Lorenz Lutheran Church and School, creating an enduring legacy.
