Endowment Fund Ministry

Lasting Gifts that Make a Lasting Difference

We are a ministry of the La Crosse Area Synod, ELCA. Our goal is to support vital ministries of the synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Individuals and congregations can support the Endowment Fund with gifts of cash or investments, through wills and trusts, memorial gifts, charitable annuities and special offerings. Synod Endowment funds are primarily invested in the professionally-managed ELCA Foundation.
