Giving

A History of Giving

From the humble beginnings of our first $1000 donation to today, the Central Lutheran Church Foundation has relied on our members and friends for support of Central Lutheran Church.

The Foundation Board has maintained the principle value of our donations.  Through the Board’s Investment Committee, outside investment managers, and auditors the growth has continued.

The Foundation continues to provide energy and financial resources to Central Lutheran Church as it lives out its mission to explore the promises of God for all.

Become a Legacy Partner

Central Lutheran Church Foundation’s Legacy Partners are members and friends of Central Lutheran Church who have made a commitment to include the Central Lutheran Church Foundation in their estate plan. In addition, those who have made a current one-time or cumulative $10,000 gift to the Foundation are members of the Legacy Partners.

We celebrate the Legacy Partners who entrust the fruits of their labor during their lives through a financial commitment to CLCF, which benefits the church in perpetuity. We honor the Partners with a special thank you event and other celebrations each year, and Partners receive an engraved crystal etching of Central Lutheran Church’s historic sanctuary.
