Creating an endowment fund with Charitus offers a powerful means of leaving a lasting impact on Lutheran ministry and the causes you hold dear. These funds safeguard the principal of your gifts, enabling the allocation of investment income to support the missions and charities of your choice.
Whether you choose to establish a timeless legacy during your lifetime or through a bequest, the process is flexible and accessible. By naming your fund and collaborating with Charitus, you contribute to a brighter future for the causes you are passionate about while ensuring your charitable legacy endures.
You have the opportunity to create an endowment fund with Charitus, dedicated to supporting Lutheran ministry. These endowment funds are designed to safeguard the core gifts while enabling the utilization of investment income for charitable purposes. Whether you opt for a traditional endowment fund, ensuring the preservation of the principal indefinitely, or explore other options, such funds can be initiated during your lifetime or through a bequest.
Additionally, consider our donor-advised fund (DAF) – a versatile fund type. By establishing a DAF while you’re alive, you can annually advise Charitus on the ministries and charitable causes you wish to support. The fund agreement outlines the intended use of disbursements after your passing, offering a customizable and lasting impact on the charitable organizations that matter most to you.
Donor Advised Funds

Your DAF can bear a personalized name, such as the “Your Name Here Family Charitable Fund,” and the beauty of DAFs lies in their flexibility. Whether during your lifetime or as part of your estate plan, you can create a DAF using various assets, including cash, securities, bonds, real estate, and insurance.
