Planned Giving and Bequests
Some members and friends of the NALC are choosing to provide for the long-term support of their church through provisions in their wills. Such gifts, called “bequests,” permit the donor to identify and support those ministries which best reflect his or her values and beliefs. Should you wish to make a bequest for the support of the NALC in your will, the following is sample language which you can use:
[specify dollar amount or a percentage of the estate’s residual value] to the North American Lutheran Church, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation located at 3500 Mill Run Drive, Hilliard, OH 43026-7770, for the benefit of [the general operating fund of the North American Lutheran Church] OR [specific fund or ministry]
If you have further questions, feel free to contact the NALC Treasurer.
