Establishing an endowment with LLF is remarkably simple. Start by completing our easy application form, which takes just a few minutes. You’ll provide information about your goals and the fund purpose, beneficiary organizations, and initial investment. Our team will then connect with you personally to discuss the details and answer questions. Once your fund is established, LLF handles all investment management, compliance, and distributions. We offer several endowment types to match your goals: Designated Funds (supporting specific organizations), Field-of-Interest Funds (supporting broad causes like Lutheran education or missions), and Donor Advised Funds (allowing you ongoing grant recommendations).
