Gifts to the Foundation

A gift to the Bethlehem Foundation supports the mission and vision of Bethlehem Lutheran Church Twin Cities, now and in the future. All donations/gifts are added to the Principal Fund which is invested wisely, and all donors are considered Bridge Builders.

There are many ways to contribute, such as:

  • A memorial to a loved one

  • An honorarium for someone special or a significant life event

  • Appreciated stock

  • A donor-advised fund

  • A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from an IRA

  • Naming the BLC Foundation as a beneficiary

  • A planned gift of financial support in the future through a will or trust

Support in any form builds a bridge today from yesterday’s faithful to tomorrow’s hopeful.
