Lutheran Planned Giving

The ministries/agencies (listed above) associated with the ELCA have joined together with the Oregon Synod and the ELCA Foundation to form the Oregon Synod Lutheran Planned Giving Consortium.

The purpose is to assist anyone affiliated with our ministries or our congregations with planned gifts. Planned gifts, in contrast to gifts from the standard one-time cash or check donation, generally take a bit of planning and often the assistance of someone familiar with the whole range of possibilities.

These partnering ministries of the church are thankful for the faithful support of the congregations of the church. These ministries have chosen to collaborate, rather than compete with each other, to support one another, affirm the important work of each other, and encourage and celebrate the support for one another.
