Imagine a future in which your gifts continue to benefit your family and faith after you’re called to heaven. A gift plan structures your assets in a way that often minimizes taxes and provides an opportunity to do more with the blessings God has provided.
Starting gift planning at your ministry can be simple. We partner with dozens of congregations, schools, RSOs and other ministries. Each year these partnerships result in nearly $150 million in future planned gifts to LCMS organizations.
We provide congregations, schools, RSOs, seminaries and universities with the expertise to invest their assets in a variety of market funds. With vision, these funds can provide long-term stability, helping fund your ministry for generations to come.
Our partnership with the LCMS Foundation has been a tremendous blessing. In just a few years, we’ve identified more than $20,000,000 in gifts planned for St. Peter and other Lutheran ministries.

We had no idea where to start until we were introduced to the LCMS Foundation. The process was seamless, and we were able to share a portion of those blessings with our local congregation, with the LCMS, and with its seminaries, which provide workers for the extension of God’s kingdom here on earth.

The LCMS Foundation helped us to formulate a plan to ensure that a portion of the gifts God has given us would be used to bless others.

Our LCMS Foundation gift planning counselor was an invaluable help in identifying options to consider as we prepared to meet with an attorney to set up our estate plan. With his help we are confident we have a good plan to provide both for our family and God’s work after He calls us home.
