Why an endowment fund?
Endowment funds are useful vehicles that provide regular financial support to various types of non-profit and charitable organizations.
A large number of universities, private schools, hospitals and even summer camps create endowment funds to support their programs, build new facilities, and purchase new equipment. The benefits of
such a fund to Luther Village would be no different and would
allow us to do many great things!
• Upgrade, renovate and build new cabins and facilities
• Improve our grounds, such as newer boat docks, better roads
and improved drainage, greener sporting fields

LV
• Purchase new equipment, such as fishing boats, vehicles, major appliances, maintenance and kitchen equipment
• Enhance programming, through the purchase of kayaks, camera and video equipment for the Performing Arts Camp and a paved basketball court, to name a few options
• Strengthen our campership programs and create a new Lutheran Urban Ministry campership to bring inner city youth and families out to camp.

In addition, with proper planning, an endowment fund will eliminate the need to conduct last minute capital campaigns
to address capital.
