The purpose of the Faith Lutheran Endowment Fund is to enhance the ability of Faith Lutheran Church to serve the various ministries of the congregation with a particular focus on those ministries that have an outreach purpose and are designed to serve the community apart from the general operation of the congregation. No portion of the income generated by the Fund is used for the annual operating budget of the Church nor for capital improvements.
The Fund is administered by a committee of church members responsible for managing its investments, reviewing grant request applications for outreach projects, and obtaining approval from the Church Council to disburse the funds.
To request funds for a project, a completed grant request form must be submitted to the committee via U.S. Mail, email, or hand delivered to the church office. For planning purposes, grant requests must be submitted according to the following schedule:
Timeframe of project for grant: Submission deadline:
1st Quarter December 1st of previous year
2nd Quarter March 1st
3rd Quarter June 1st
4th Quarter September 1st
