First Lutheran Church has a Mission Endowment Fund, which supports the ministry of this congregation, partners in our community, and the ministry of the Church throughout the world. On April 28, 2024, we launched a multi-year campaign to raise $170,000 in additional funds, in honor of our upcoming 170th anniversary in 2026.
Do you have an IRA Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) this year? If you are 70½ or older you can gift all or a portion of your RMD straight from your IRA to First Lutheran to support the work of God’s hands in our congregation, and at the same time bypass paying income tax on the gift portion of your distribution. Simply inform your IRA servicer you wish to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to First Lutheran Church. For more information contact the church office.
Gifts of appreciated assets, such as stock, are great ways to financially support the ministries you value at First Lutheran and at the same time you may be able to avoid capital gains tax on the gifted asset. Check with your accountant regarding what appreciated assets may be most advantageous for you to gift before the end of the year!
