Katharina von Bora Luther was a practical and bold woman of faith. She was also the dedicated partner of her husband, Martin. The example she set as a mother, entrepreneur, and farmer continues to inspire us today.
Katie's Fund began as a endowment fund in 1997 with gifts given in thanks for the first 10 years of Women of the ELCA ministries. To date, interest earned on the fund has provided leadership opportunities for young women at triennial gatherings and global networking on behalf of the organization. It has also supported our participation in ELCA National Youth Gatherings and human trafficking advocacy training.
It can continue to do all these things and more, because now Katie's Fund includes an option that allows you to make gifts to meet more immediate needs or to help grow the fund's endowment.
Gifts to the fund are available for ministries in three key areas:
Leadership Development: providing opportunities for current and future leaders to participate in and further the mission of Women of the ELCA.
Global Sharing: building global partnerships that increase multicultural awareness and promote service projects.
Living Theology: nurturing faith through Bible studies, worship experiences, and educational theological forums.
