Bequests

A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust that provides a meaningful way to support ministries for years to come. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways to provide and protect your spouse, family, and ministry.

Gift Annuities

A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) is a contract between you and the LCMS Foundation for the benefit of LCEF. In exchange for your charitable gift, you or you and your spouse receive a fixed income for your lifetime(s). Upon your passing, the annuity ceases, and the remaining principal supports the work of The Church.

IRA Rollovers

An IRA charitable rollover allows individuals age 70½ or older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.

Our Mission

The mission of Lutheran Church Extension Fund is to start, sustain and strengthen LCMS ministries through financial and strategic partnerships.
