Who can contribute to the Endowment Fund?

Atonement congregation members can certainly support the fund, but others are welcome to participate as well.  This includes Atonement School alumni and their families, businesses and philanthropic organizations, and anyone who wants to help build God's Kingdom through mission and ministry at Lutheran Church of the Atonement. 

 

Gift Size

Large gifts from estates and other sources are important to grow the Endowment Fund, and gifts of any size help, too.  For example, if you contribute $50 per year for 30 years, the $1,5000 you gave could be worth more than three times that amount ($4,550).
