After the Israelites crossed the River Jordan to enter the Promised Land they set up a stone memorial, so that future generations would know the goodness of God. In the same way, WELS Foundation exists to help members whose gifts leave a monument of their faith that will be a blessing for many years to come.

WELS Foundation was organized for the benefit of Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod and is guided by the same principles. Christ’s love is what we are all about. By that love we are redeemed and forgiven. His Spirit has made us his own by faith and given us the promise of a relationship with him now and forever in heaven. God has graciously called us to help WELS members and organizations pass on his great love in Jesus to the next generations so they might know and reflect Christ’s love.

By becoming involved with WELS Foundation and making a donation through a charitable gift annuity, a charitable remainder trust, a donor advised fund, or other specialized giving instrument, you are creating a lasting legacy of your faith. Giving is an act of worship, another way to offer your Lord a thankful response for his never-failing gifts.

Charitable gifts benefit WELS gospel ministry by providing funds to WELS congregations, mission work, schools, and other ministries. Like the stones placed by the River Jordan, your gifts are a way to share God’s grace with others well after you enter the Promised Land of Heaven.
