To qualify for matching, gifts must be contributed to your endowment fund at LLF and intended for permanent investment. Qualifying gifts include:
- Cash donations from individuals, families, or businesses
- Appreciated securities and stocks
- Memorial and honorary gifts
- Planned gifts that are realized (such as bequests that have been received)
- Transfers from existing funds or savings external to Lutheran Legacy Foundation
Gifts must come from you, your donors, or the community. The goal is to engage your congregation, alumni, or supporters in building a lasting endowment. In-kind donations and pledges typically do not qualify until they are converted to cash or securities and contributed to your fund.
