Your Generosity to God’s Glory
To better steward the generous giving of our supporters, Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) offers complimentary Gift Planning services to help guide customers toward supporting the ministries they care about in their financial plans.
Why Give to LCEF?
Sharing your financial blessings with LCEF is one way you can make a direct impact on the ministries and missions you care about. To help make the most of the generous gifts of our supporters, LCEF offers several convenient options for giving.
Give Now
Support important programs that strengthen and sustain LCMS workers, churches, schools and organizations through the Church Worker Loan Pool, LCEF General Fund, Grace Place Church Worker Wellness Fund and the Kaleidoscope Fund.
Planned Giving
From naming LCEF in your estate planning to designating tangible personal property for donation, we guide you through the process of providing for and protecting your family while having an eternal impact on the Lutheran community through Planned Giving.
Shared Interest
While your investment with LCEF is already providing low-cost loans for LCMS workers and ministries, you can enhance your impact by donating your interest earned to the causes aligned with your faith.
