As God’s people, we give thanks in occasions of life and even in death. Memorial gifts can be a very tangible way of remembering persons and events that bring thoughts of warmth and thanksgiving to us. More than that, memorial gifts to the RLC Endowment keep on giving.
The RLC Endowment Committee guides the use of the Roseville Lutheran Endowment Fund with gifts designated specifically to “RLC Endowment Fund”. Contributions to this fund are held in perpetuity with the interest earned each year spent as directed by this board. This fund supports grants to further RLC outreach with applications accepted twice annually due May 1 and October 1. The 9-member committee reviews grant applications twice annually. With your gifts and prayers we can grow to be an instrument for spreading God’s word and the goodness that comes from it.
The RLC endowment committee will be meeting in early May to consider requests for grants of money. Grant requests will be considered for purposes that extend God’s mission through the ministry of Roseville Lutheran Church, including reaching out in response to a human need or supporting education for Christian life and service. Grant application forms can be obtained at the church office by May 1st in order to be considered at the May meeting. If you have any questions regarding submitting a grant, please speak to a member of the Endowment Committee or to a pastor.
Annual fund-raising includes Love Lights remembering and honoring loved ones. The RLC Endowment Fund accepts gifts of money, securities and properties, both real and personal. Gifts to the Endowment Fund are exempt from federal and state inheritance taxes and capital gains taxes. Gifts given individually qualify as deductible for tax purposes.
