The Mission Endowment Fund of PEACE Lutheran Church provides the opportunity for people to donate in a special way. It’s a great way to make donations in memory of loved ones that will ensure your gift will keep on giving.
PEACE’s Mission Endowment Fund is an independently managed investment fund. It has its own board of directors, composed of PEACE members. Donations made to the fund stay in the fund; interest earned by the fund is given to projects in our community and in our world that further the mission of spreading God’s Good News of love and hope for all people. The fund is a part of PEACE, but with its own board, policies and procedures.
