MEF GRANTS

MEF GRANTS

It is time once again for Saint Luke to assist our forebearers in their goal of benefiting future generations and enhancing the outreach of our congregation, by proposing recipients with unmet needs for charitable funds.  Over the years, many have contributed to the Mission Endowment Fund so that proceeds from its investments can be used to do God’s work beyond what is typically the purview of the local congregation’s budget.  The charter identifies three areas of outreach as supporting needs in our community, the synod and the ELCA’s national and international programs.  The MEF may also be used to enhance or improve Saint Luke’s grounds or facilities, if a specific goal is identified that falls outside the usual operating expenses.  The stock market has not had a good year, so we may not be able to fund as many projects as we would like.  However we are eager to help where we are able.  Please help us identify worthy causes!  Details and applications to sponsor a funding request can be found on the church’s website.  This year the deadline for applications will be April 15, 2019.
