Tribute gifts to the Nativity Lutheran Endowment Fund help advance the mission outreach of Nativity Lutheran Church apart from the general operation of the congregation. Through the investment of gifts and bequests, the endowment provides perpetual income to support educational, religious and charitable purposes supported by Nativity Church.

How it works
You can make a gift or to an existing Endowment Fund any time -- to celebrate a special occasion, honor loved ones who have died or as a part of effective estate planning. Contributions of all sizes are important in supporting the growth of God's ministry. Your gift may be designated for a specific purpose or you may also give an unrestricted gift, a very valuable way to help Nativity carry out God's ministry. All assets and income generated by the fund's investments are exclusively devoted to religious, charitable or educational purposes endorsed by Nativity Lutheran Church. The Endowment Fund is not operated for private gain or personal profit. No portion of the income generated by the fund shall be used for the annual operating budget of the congregation.
