Legacy Gifts

First Lutheran Church offers members and
friends of the congregation an opportunity to make Legacy Gifts   Legacy gifts are unique donations that people often make to the “glory of God” or to honor or remember a loved one.  All legacy gifts exceeding $1000 are recongnized via a Legacy Recongition Display in the lower atrium of the church.

Three different options are available for people to make Legacy Gifts:

Memorial Fund - The Memorial Fund usually receives gifts given in memory of loved ones. Such gifts are usually less than $1000 and can undesignated or designated.

Endowment Fund - The Endowment Fund receives gifts from which only the earnings can be allocated for outreach or FLC needs.  Endowment Fund gifts can be undesignated, designated or given in the form of a Donor Advised Fund.

First Lutheran Fund - The First Lutheran Fund receives gifts that can be undesignated or designated.   Some or all of the money from a First Lutheran Fund can be spent.

Donors are encouraged to talk with one of the pastors if they are considering making gifts to any of these Legacy Funds.
