Katie’s Fund was established in 1997 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Women of the ELCA. Gifts to Katie’s Fund support Women of the ELCA ministries in global sharing, leadership development, and nurturing faith.

 

 

Why support Katie’s Fund? We want our daughters and friends to have what Women of the ELCA has given us: a community of faithful women who support each other as together we live out our baptismal promises. You can ensure that Women of the ELCA will continue to provide that well into the future by giving to Katie’s Fund today. And by giving to Katie’s Fund you can ensure that Lutheran women will be supporting life-changing ministries around the globe. Give online here.
